Ahh, yes, wrap-and-sort is another nice helper.

I perfectly agree about the principle.  The tool that implements this
in a (Debian -) generic way is

   cme fix dpkg-control

I personally prefer this since it is not bound to a specific team as the
'pkgos-*" prefix is showing.  If I were you I would use cme inside pkgos
tools to avoid code duplication.
 
Kind regards

       Andreas.
