Bug#883745: packages.debian.org: unexpectedly render package desc in <pre> tag

[Boyuan Yang <073plan@gmail.com>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Take a look at https://packages.debian.org/sid/go-dep ,

The raw package description is:

Description: Go dependency management tool
 dep is a prototype dependency management tool for Go. It is the
 official experiment, but not yet the official tool.
 .
 dep is safe for production use. That means two things:
 * Any valid metadata file (`Gopkg.toml` and `Gopkg.lock`) will be
   readable and considered valid by any future version of dep.
 * Generally speaking, it has comparable or fewer bugs than other
   tools out there.

The rendered HTML format is:

<div id="pdesc" lang="en">

        <h2>Go dependency management tool</h2>
        <p>
dep is a prototype dependency management tool for Go. It is the
official experiment, but not yet the official tool.
<p>
dep is safe for production use. That means two things:
* Any valid metadata file (`Gopkg.toml` and `Gopkg.lock`) will be
<pre>
  readable and considered valid by any future version of dep.
</pre>
* Generally speaking, it has comparable or fewer bugs than other
<pre>
  tools out there.
</pre>


</div> <!-- end pdesc -->

I'm not sure if it is an undocumented feature or a bug.
