Bug Description

Hello,

there's (maybe) a format problem in string #521.

We think that a new line is needed between descriptions of each tools, please see the last suggestion in the link below:

The original package description of irpas has new lines, so must be a problem in apt-ddtp-tools that needs investigation.

It's a problem in the package description and has already been reported to debian (see upstream bug watch).

According to http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Description the lines in the extended description can have these formats:

> Those starting with a single space are part of a paragraph. Successive lines of this form will be word-wrapped when displayed. The leading space will usually be stripped off. The line must contain at least one non-whitespace character.

Because of that the list of programs in irpas's description looks ugly when viewed in tools that actually do word-wrap (lp translations, aptitude, ...). What you probably want is this:

> Those starting with two or more spaces. These will be displayed verbatim. If the display cannot be panned horizontally, the displaying program will line wrap them "hard" (i.e., without taking account of word breaks). If it can they will be allowed to trail off to the right. None, one or two initial spaces may be deleted, but the number of spaces deleted from each line will be the same (so that you can have indenting work correctly, for example). The line must contain at least one non-whitespace character.
