Package: php-services-weather
Severity: minor

Hi!

the last versions of the package description have all the lines, except
for the first, starting with a space character.

This causes those lines to be treated as verbatime text, they are not
flowed to fit different display width and could be displayed in a
different font.

The result in the package page can be seen here:

https://packages.debian.org/sid/php-services-weather

I think those starting spaces should all be removed.

As a minor side note, the last version included a change in the title
changed from

"acts as an interface to various online weather-services"

to

"This class acts as an interface to various online weather-services"

I think the first version (or even the simplified "interface to various
online weather-services") is more adherent to what the debian Developer
Reference suggests in

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-pkg-synopsis

but that is definitely just a suggestion.

Thanks,

beatrice
