Package: mblaze
Version: 0.2-1
Severity: minor

The mblaze package description looks terrible in aptitude (and
probablypackages.d.o) because it doesn't do list formatting correctly.

The correct way to do list formatting is two spaces, then an asterisk
and then a space and then the text.

Examples below:

$ aptitude show mblaze | sed -n -e '/^Description/{ :a; p;' -e 'n; /^ /ba; }; '
Description: UNIX utilities to deal with Maildir
 The mblaze message system is a set of Unix utilities to deal with mail kept in 
Maildir folders. It is a classic command line MUA and has no features for 
receiving or transferring mail; you are expected to fetch your mail using 
fdm(1), getmail(1) offlineimap(1), procmail(1), or similar , and send it using 
dma(8), msmtp(1), sendmail(8), as provided by OpenSMTPD, Postfix, or similar. 
mblaze expects your mail to reside in Maildir folders. 
 
 Its design is roughly inspired by MH, the RAND Message Handling System, but it 
is a complete implementation from scratch. mblaze operates directly on Maildir 
folders and doesn't use its own caches or databases. There is no setup needed 
for many uses. 
 
 mblaze consists of these Unix tools that each do one job: maddr(1)     extract 
addresses from mail magrep(1)    find mails matching a pattern mcom(1)      
compose and send mail mdeliver(1)  deliver messages or import mailboxes 
mdirs(1)     find Maildir folders mexport(1)   export Maildir folders as 
mailboxes mflag(1)     change flags (marks) of mail mflow(1)     reflow 
format=flowed plain text mails mfwd(1)      forward mail mgenmid(1)   generate 
Message-IDs mhdr(1)      extract mail headers minc(1)      incorporate new mail 
mless(1)     conveniently read mail in less(1) mlist(1)     list and filter 
mail messages mmime(1)     create MIME messages mmkdir(1)    create new Maildir 
mpick(1)     advanced mail filter mrep(1)      reply to mail mscan(1)     
generate one-line summaries of mail msed(1)      manipulate mail headers 
mseq(1)      manipulate mail sequences mshow(1)     render mail and extract 
attachments msort(1)     sort mail mthread(1)   arrange mail into discussions
$ aptitude show apt | sed -n -e '/^Description/{ :a; p;' -e 'n; /^ /ba; }; '
Description: commandline package manager
 This package provides commandline tools for searching and managing as well as 
querying information about packages as a low-level access to all features of 
the libapt-pkg library. 
 
 These include: 
 * apt-get for retrieval of packages and information about them from 
authenticated sources and for installation, upgrade and removal of packages 
together with their dependencies 
 * apt-cache for querying available information about installed as well as 
installable packages 
 * apt-cdrom to use removable media as a source for packages 
 * apt-config as an interface to the configuration settings 
 * apt-key as an interface to manage authentication keys
$ apt-cache show mblaze | sed -n -e '/^Description/{ :a; p;' -e 'n; /^ /ba; }; '
