Package: haskell-devscripts Version: 0.16.11 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
dh_haskell_description seems to be doubling the full stop characters (.) in X-Description when they end up in LongDescription. For example: X-Description: Line 1, Paragraph 1 Line 2, Paragraph 1 . Line 1, Paragraph 2 ends up in LongDescription as: Line 2, Paragraph 1 .. Line 1, Paragraph 2 and this results in these lintian errors: E: libghc-exceptions-dev: description-contains-invalid-control-statement line 5 E: libghc-exceptions-dev: description-contains-invalid-control-statement line 9 E: libghc-exceptions-doc: description-contains-invalid-control-statement line 5 E: libghc-exceptions-doc: description-contains-invalid-control-statement line 9 E: libghc-exceptions-prof: description-contains-invalid-control-statement line 5 E: libghc-exceptions-prof: description-contains-invalid-control-statement line 9 See haskell-exceptions package for an example. Thanks, Scott
