Package: po4a
Version: 0.25-1
Severity: normal

Hi dear fellow developer,

I am currently squashing #367061. My problem is that po4a breaks the layout.
Let me explain:

In orignial depmod.sgml

    <cmdsynopsis>
      <command>depmod</command>
      <arg><option>-b <replaceable>basedir</replaceable></option></arg>
      <arg><option>-e</option></arg>
      <arg><option>-F <replaceable>System.map</replaceable></option></arg>
      <arg><option>-n</option></arg>

In translated depmod.sgml

    <command>depmod</command>
   <arg rep="norepeat" choice="opt">
    <option>-b <replaceable>répertoire-de-base</replaceable></option>
   </arg>
   <arg rep="norepeat" choice="opt">
    <option>-e</option>
   </arg>
   <arg rep="norepeat" choice="opt">
    <option>-F <replaceable>System.map</replaceable></option>
   </arg>
   <arg rep="norepeat" choice="opt">
    <option>-n</option>


The problem is that it breaks the layout in output format (man format)

SYNOPSIS
       depmod [     -b répertoire-de-base
        ] [     -e
        ] [     -F System.map
        ] [     -n
        ] [     -v
        ] [     version
        ] [     -A
        ]


To conclude operations are not round-trip. And having a translated manpage
with this layout is not acceptable in order to convince m-i-t upstream
maintainer to include it. It will be a nice opportunity for po4a to be
included within m-i-t. 

Cheers,
