Exported symbols can now be defined to belong to a specific namespace,
and Module.symvers includes this as an additional field between name
and module.
The namespace can be an empty string, so when reading we need to split
fields on '\t' and not the default of one-or-more-whitespace. We then
also need to separate fields with '\t' when writing an ABI reference.
Namespaces are intended for grouping symbols exported for use by
groups of in-tree modules, and we ought to add support for ignoring
ABI changes on this basis. For now, just add it as an attribute of
Symbol which is compared when checking for ABI changes.
Fix coding style violations reported by pycodestyle. This is
mostly a matter of reformatting code, particularly to eliminate
over-long lines. I also rename one variable ("l" is considered
visually ambiguous) and change a bare "except" to explicitly
catch all exceptions.
There are three types of error or warning remaining:
- debian/bin/...: E402 module level import not at top of file
Scripts in debian/bin need to modify the import path before
importing from debian/lib/python.
- E127 continuation line over-indented for visual indent
This seems to be a false positive. pycodestyle doesn't seem to be
happy with any level of indent (including 0) on a continuation line
in a "with" statement.
- debian/lib/python/debian_linux/debian.py:15:2: W291 trailing whitespace
This is a false positive. The trailing spaces are in a long
string and are intentional.

- Support Python 3.
- Use six if necessary.

Depend on python-six.
