Hi!
The long description of your package could need some formating
improvements. Please notice that chosing o as bulleting character is a
very bad choice because package description renderers like the one in
aptitude can't reliably recognize it as bulletin marker (it might be a
valid word in some languages) and thus doesn't handle it specially.
Additionally you indented it quite far which is also pretty uncommon
and might work against expected style.
I suggest something like this short pseudo-patch:
#v+
Description: HTTP client library for ruby (ruby 1.9.1 version)
httpclient gives something like the functionality of
libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.
.
Features:
* methods like GET/HEAD/POST/* via HTTP/1.1.
* HTTPS(SSL), Cookies, proxy, authentication(Digest, NTLM, Basic), etc.
* asynchronous HTTP request, streaming HTTP request.
* by contrast with net/http in standard distribution;
- o Cookies support
- o MT-safe
- o streaming POST (POST with File/IO)
- o Digest auth
- o Negotiate/NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate (requires net/htlm module)
- o NTLM auth for WWW-Authenticate/Proxy-Authenticate (requires
- win32/sspi module)
- o extensible with filter interface
- o you don't have to care HTTP/1.1 persistent connection (httpclient
- cares instead of you)
+ - Cookies support

.
This package is built for ruby 1.9.1.

So long, and thanks for effort for Debian nevertheless!
