Severity: wishlist


Dear Maintainer,

I'm wondering if you can split paragraphs that are in long descriptions for various
binary packages in dart source package.
DDTP [1] is able to automatically translate identical paragraphs that are previously
translated so, please, keep separate them for easily translate your descriptions in
the future if they change.

For all binary packages we have a long description starting with:

"DART is a collaborative, cross-platform, open source library created by the ..."

If that paragraph changes as:

"DART is a collaborative, crossplatform, open source library created by the ..."

DDTP translators can easily re-translate the description *once*, without a long and
mistake-prone copy/paste process involving 20+ binary package descriptions.

I'm attaching a patch to achieve that.

Thanks in advance for considering.

Kind Regards
