Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.22.1-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

Back in February there was a discussion on debian-devel about descriptions
of some packages that include lists which shouldn't be reformatted.
It's at:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/02/msg00695.html

If you look at your package description on:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/gnome-terminal
then you can see the problem.

The list in the description gets reformatted.

You can prevent this by starting a line in the Description field with two
spaces as per:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Description

The lines in your package that could be fixed are:
 - Access a UNIX shell in the GNOME environment.                                 - Run any application that is designed to run on VT102, VT220, and xterm
 terminals.

Thanks
