Package: disktype
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi!

As you can see in the Debian package page here:

https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/disktype

there are some dots showing at the end of each list. I think they were
meant to be separating paragraphs.

Please note that, as for Debian Policy [1] the "dot" works to divide
paragraphs (it creates an empty line) only if it is preceded by a single
space and there is no other character after it.

In your case those dots are preceded by more than one space and they are
shown verbatim in the description. Moreover they are unnecessary
since they are inside a "verbatim" section.

I suggest that you remove from the description those 6 lines with a dot
(at the end of the first 6 lists) completely and you will get exactly
the same formatting but without those lines with a dot showing.

I attach a patch that does just that (or so I think); please let me know
if I need to change its format.

Thanks,

beatrice
