Package: debian-policy
Version: 4.3.0.3
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

the abstract of the Debian Manifest (document ID debian-manifesto, installed as
file /usr/share/doc-base/debian-manifesto) is written in all verbatim format
(except for the initial line), which to me, judging from its content, appears
to have happened by mistake. I hence modestly suggest to change the
continuation lines its value consists of from verbatim into regular format, by
merely reducing the number of leading spaces from two to only a single one per
line.

For my amusement, I applied this change to my live system (with version 4.3.0.3
of debian-policy installed), deleted and rebuilt the online documentation
(install-docs invoked with the -R, and subsequently -I option), and got quite
satisfied with the result shown by dwww afterwards. The rest of this message
records the change I applied to file /usr/share/doc-base/debian-manifesto.
