The Debian Policy Manual describes the format of the description field. This includes information about how lines might be wrapped by programs displaying this information, how to mark lines to not be wrapped, how to mark a line as blank, and how leading spaces on a multi-line description might be deleted.
By reformatting the description field in opkg.py, we are breaking many of these behaviors and taking control of formatting away from the author of the control file. Instead, we should simply copy the description field with no reformatting.
