Where is such a policy defined? I have found nothing forbidding that in the Debian policy and there is an example in section 7.1 using folding for the Build-Depends: line.



5.1:

And chapter 7 don't change this requirement.


Ok, I will therefore report a bug against debian-policy to ask to change the example.


Actually, it's already reported as bug #148194
