On the other hand the DEP-3 specification [1] mentions:
"This obligatory field contains at least a short description on the first line. 
When Subject is used, it is expected that the long description is outside of 
the structured fields. "

Cme tries to salvage information from the Subject field and move in the free 
form description, after all allowed parameters (Last-UPdate) in this case.

I think gbp-pq should not produce multi lines Subject fields

All the best
