I'd still at least make a distinction between "true" lists
such as the package listings in INSTALL (which are also
columnized, so the actual "line" is quite short), and what's
closer to just a sentence with a bullet point, like here.
In the given context I don't find
* users running our code from git or tarballs (and not the
OS package manager)
distracting, unlike the overlong line, but it's your call of
course.
