Package: libtest-image-gd-perl
Version: 0.03-1
Severity: normal

The current dependencies are causing issues when building dependent packages.
Probably we need to simplify the GD dependency to libgd-gd2-perl.

15:07:01) gregoa: periapt: libcgi-application-plugin-ajaxupload-perl: cowbuilder tells me: http://paste.debian.net/111237/ AFAICS this comes from libtest-image-gd-perl and should be addressed there, and the reason is probably that jonas changed something in the libgd.*-perl packages recently. - cowbuilder sorts it out and continues successfully though
(15:07:49) gregoa: periapt: second note: I think you have to separate the indented lines in the long description with " \n.\n" before and afterwards, otherwise they might get mangled by some tools
(15:08:31) dodathome left the room (quit: Remote host closed the connection).
(15:09:32) jawnsy: gregoa: I feel like it's only stupid tools that do that :P
(15:10:02) jawnsy: gregoa: as long as a line begins with two spaces, parsers aren't supposed to touch them
(15:10:07) gregoa: jawnsy: maybe, but they exist. - and in general, the idea of reformatting paragraphs doesn't seem bad
(15:10:38) gregoa: jawnsy: hm, I might be misremembering something
(15:12:32) gregoa: jawnsy, periapt: I just took a look at policy 5.6.13 again, seems like jawnsy's memory is better than mine
(15:13:04) jawnsy: gregoa: I learned about that writing libdebctrl :P
(15:13:16) jawnsy: gregoa: but in fairness, I agree with your point, as some parsers may not follow policy properly
(15:13:49) jawnsy: and I have been putting an empty line between paragraphs and lists to provide more visual clarity while using apt-cache for example
(15:15:00) gregoa: jawnsy: me too, and I guess that's the reason why I thought that's required
