Package: html-xml-utils
Version: 5.1-1
The package description displays incorrectly with the list as a single wrapped
paragraph (except in apt commands presenting raw data)
because the list is not formatted according to Policy 5.6.13, with two
spaces before entries.

Not for me. aptitudes TUI and CLI show the description without any
issues. The list is shown as intended (verbatim). Maybe you still saw
the old package version?

Well, no. There is no logical nor technical reason to do this. If some
programs really have problems showing a valid description (format), it
is a bug in these programs (but see above), not in html-xml-utils.
Therefor closing. Please feel free to comment.
