Bug Description

Soyuz doesn't currently strip the linebreak-escapish-character (.) from binary package descriptions.

Its use can be seen at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+package/mplayer. Placing it on a blank line effectively escapes the trailing newline, preventing the paragraph from ending. It really shouldn't be rendered.

It also makes the collapsed description (as seen on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu11) look bad, with sequences like `. . ' whenever we have multiple line breaks.
