This indentation is funny. But I suspect it is because your whole patch
seems to have been whitespace-damaged (see the section on gmail in
"git help git-format-patch").

I guess I'm not opposed to calling that out, but this is normal for
pktline (the flush packet has no data; in the other lines the newline is
not a syntactic part of the pktline stream, but is actually data
contained inside each of those pktlines).

In theory there can actually be one or more headers after the "service"
line. But I don't think they've ever been used (and the current client
just throws them away).

I think Jonathan is right that the version must go after the flush
packet (just looking at the v2 protocol patches elsewhere on the list,
the version tag is really part of the ref_list).

Not related to your patch, but I suspect it should also be
PKT-LINE("version 1").
