Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
TEST CASE:
1. run software-center search:gshutdown
2. verify that the description is cut in the middle
3. install the version from -proposed
4. repeat (1) and verify that the description is now cut at the end
Very long descriptions of packages get cut in the middle, giving a very weird effect. Like the package Gshutdown when software center is not maximised:
And advanced shutdown utility which allows you to...le the shutdown or the restart of your computer.
I would be better if this was to be split over several lines or capped at the end instead of the middle.

Hi,
This is still true in Oneiric.
For example if you want to see the description of LibreOffice in the french version, you have to expand the window !
This is not very convenient and it might be good to correct this for the LTS.
