james_w pointed out that an additional 'return' statement is needed since the code will continue to execute if the value of the 'strict' parameter is False

This bug was fixed in the package python-debian - 0.1.14

---------------
python-debian (0.1.14) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Stefano Zacchiroli ]
  * setup.py.in: switch to setuptools, which are able to generate eggs;
    add matching build-dep on python-setuptools (Closes: #525694)
  * examples/deb822/: add new example render-dctrl, to render packages in
    a dctrl-tools pipeline (using Markdown as long description syntax)
  * deb822: use __new__ to sub-class strings for case-insensitiveness;
    former approach is deprecated with python 2.6.
    Thanks to Loïc Minier for the patch. (Closes: #524061)

  [ Filippo Giunchedi ]
  * deb822: parse also Binary as PkgRelation, thus add .binary attribute

  [ Muharem Hrnjadovic ]
  * fixed changelog parser exception raised when dealing with empty
    changelog files (LP: #400589).
