I'm reopening the bug.
The behavior is still present in software-center 3.0.7 (the package
version in synaptic). For example, look at the description of the
stellarium package in "ppa:stellarium/stellarium".
The bug is described in the changelog in comment #5 above as "support
bullets with " o item" in the description". *This is wrong.* Note that
in my original report, Stellarium uses asterisks. In the current
version, it uses dashes. Both are not rendered correctly.
There may be a problem with the line ending characters - list items are
not recognized as separate lines, which means that newlines are stripped
somewhere.
** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => New
