fix: bound debian ParseControlFile to a single control stanza (#38044) (#38055)

Backport #38044 by @metsw24-max

**Packages-index stanza injection via Debian control file**

A `.deb` whose `control` file appends extra paragraphs after a blank
line was still accepted, and `ParseControlFile` stored the whole
multi-stanza blob in `p.Control`. That blob is re-emitted verbatim into
the generated `Packages` index, so the embedded blank line splits it
into separate stanzas and an uploader can smuggle a package entry with
an attacker-chosen `Filename` into the shared index. A binary control
file only holds one stanza, so parsing now stops at the blank line that
terminates it; well-formed packages are unaffected and the new subtest
covers the trailing-stanza case.
