deb822

https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/dpkg-dev/deb822.5.en.html
(inspired by) https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/apt/sources.list.5.en.html#DEB822-STYLE_FORMAT
https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/apt/apt_preferences.5.en.html

... (many other tools inside Debian use this format, and some outside although they're less common)

Implementation in other libraries

https://github.com/rouge-ruby/rouge/blob/2a8b21b530076f0df4515397482651099ce789b2/lib/rouge/lexers/email.rb 😇
https://pygments.org/docs/lexers/#pygments.lexers.installers.DebianSourcesLexer

Additional context I think this should be pretty easy to factor out of the existing email lexer, but perhaps the devil's in the details somewhere I can't see. :bow:

For now, I'm getting by with either "yaml" or "email" depending on whether I've got more than one "stanza" :heart:
