Package: dpkg Version: 1.15.8.5 Severity: normal Hi,
Please consider this example session: $ dpkg --status aalib1 aalib1 aalib1 Package: aalib1 Status: deinstall ok config-files Priority: optional Section: libs Installed-Size: 168 Maintainer: Joey Hess <jo...@debian.org> Architecture: i386 Source: aalib Version: 1.4p5-22 Config-Version: 1.4p5-22 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libgpmg1 (>= 1.19.6-1), libncurses5 (>= 5.4-1), libx11-6 | xlibs (>> 4.1.0), slang1 (>> 1.4.9dbs-4) Description: ascii art library AAlib is a portable ascii art graphics library.

Internally, it works like a graphics display, but the output is rendered into gorgeous platform independent ascii graphics. My point is that the output misses an empty line before the second Package: aalib line. When given multiple package names, dpkg -l only separates the last package info with an emtpy line from all the rest before. This doesn't seen like a sensible behaviour for me, please fix as you see fit.
