I still think the "etc." should not be indented.  Let the tools
word-wrap it, rather than having the maintainer guess how wide
everyone's terminal will be.  But that is, perhaps, a point on which
reasonable people can disagree - not least because my suggestion makes
'apt-cache show' a little bit less pretty.

Omitting the check for forced word-wrapping in bullets cuts down the
list of offenders drastically.  The following are source packages that
actually display _incorrectly_ in dselect / aptitude because bullet
points incorrectly word-wrap back to the previous line.  (I
hand-checked this list for false positives, so it should be mostly
fair.)
