fixed in git.

the change seems innocent enough... (I just wasnt expected the different
formatting styles...)

the irony is: the autopkg tests for the package had failed which I blamed
on unstables unstableness these days, so I reviewed the diff once more,
(again) didnt notice the introduced bug and did a source only upload,
because the change were tiny... :/

to me this is more an argument for unstable-untested, or testing maybe.
