Hi There
The description field in the DEB control file supports multiline/verbatim input. It is done by indenting the lines by two spaces. Before this patch, the control file was broken if a user wanted to supply a multiline description.
Blank lines by using a full-stop-character are not implemented as it requires to convert the whole block to a 1-level intended block instead of the verbatim 2-level intended block.
