Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

In Update Manager window, the Description tab does not show the first paragraph of the package description. In aptitude, the description is shown completely. See the attached picture for a example with firefox-3.0 package (in comparison with the package description at http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/firefox-3.0).

This is with latest update-manager on Jaunty.
