Hi!
It's nice that aptitude tries to interpret lines in the long
description starting with two spaces, but it more and more breaks
descriptions. Like I noticed now with the exult-studio package:
#v+
$> grep-available -FPackage -sDescription exult-studio
Description: Tools for editing and viewing exult games
Includes:
.
expack - Command line tool for creating and extracting Flex (.flx)
files. Flex files are used by Ultima 7 to store most
of its data.
splitshp - Command line tool to take a multi-frame shp file and split
it into its individual frames.
shp2pcx - Command line tool to convert shp files to pcx format;
the shp files can be extracted using expack.
ucxt - Tool to translate usecode back into `human readable',
roughly assembly like code. The output can be presented
in a variety of different format, including one which will,
later, have a suitable compiler back into usecode.
ucc - A usecode compiler.
exult_studio - An editor for games using the Exult engine.

This is really rather annoying. There also are problems with * and
similar, I noticed that some puctuation characters even get replaced in
the description, which rendered one package description (which name I
currently don't remember but I can look it up if needed) quite stupid.
I hope you understand the concerns and revert to not interpreting the
preformated text starting with two spaces.
So long,
Alfie
