Chomp the .deb control file before writing out Packages.gz. #31

Some debs (RStudio cough) have an extra newline at the end of their control file. This makes for a Packages.gz file with syntax errors, which in turn breaks apt-get update. Not sure if it's a bug on the packager's part, but this patch does get around that problem.
