Hi!
The long description of your package could need some formating
improvements. Please notice that chosing o as bulleting character is a
very bad choice because package description renderers like the one in
aptitude can't reliably recognize it as bulletin marker (it might be a
valid word in some languages) and thus doesn't handle it specially.
I suggest the following pseudo-diff as patch:
#v+
Description: Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI) utilities
Televison broadcasts use the VBI to transmit text such as closed captioning
(NTSC), Teletext (PAL/SECAM), and now Intercast and the ATVEC Internet
television encodings. The zvbi library is used to capture and decode raw
VBI data.

This will enable package description renderers to recognize it as
bulletin marker and format it as a list.
So long, and thanks for effort for Debian nevertheless!
