Feel free to submit a bug :) I have to say, that I know several packaging teams, that use that leading "* " in every case (independent, if there is only one comment). And I also wouldn't strip it, because commit messages format should be unique. Not debian/foo: bla one time and the other * debian/foo: bla. * debian/bar: blub. Looks a bit ugly to me, especially when you look at it on a web-interface like websvn. So what I want to say: I would like to request a possibility, to preserve the current behaviour for users, not agreeing to the behaviour suggested in the report OP. Or do I misunderstand your request? Regards, Daniel
