lines with specific purpose: a header line, changes lines, a trailer
line. Blank lines can be between those kind of lines.
METHODS
$entry = Dpkg::Changelog::Entry->new()

$entry->set_part($part, $value)

concatenated at the end of the current line.
$is_empty = $entry->is_empty()
Returns 1 if the changelog entry doesn't contain anything at all.
