commit b6e17b4adf227c2101bcd29b8b311ea67a02c42a
Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>

    Pass also filename to Dpkg::Changelog::Parse::changelog_parse()
    
    With the upcoming dpkg 1.23.0, the "file" option is deprecated and
    emits a warning to that effect, which is replaced by the "filename"
    option.
    
    To ease in the migration and to avoid making code not backportable,
    the deprecated option is accepted with no warning if the new option is
    passed as well, so that both old and new dpkg modules can be used.
    Only after 1.24.0 the old option will be obsoleted and unconditionally
    start generating warnings or errors.
