I for one like visual consistency even when reading package descriptions via apt-cache etc. So having at least a uniform indentation level (and, if possibly, a uniform itemize symbol, but this seems to be heavily opposed against) *as a recommended* way of writing long descriptions would be desirable. I don't think it warrants filing bugs, though. cheers, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
