[Python-modules-team] Bug#480341: Description could be better formatted

[Simon Huggins]

Package: python-mysqldb
Version: 1.2.2-6
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/python-mysqldb
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:
 + Thread-friendliness (threads will not block each other)
 + Compatibility with MySQL-3.23 and later
Alternatively you can just use one space but separate each item with a
blank line.

Thanks
