So doing this on the Packages file from amd64 in unstable currently
there are list problems in the following dd-list'd packages.
I think mostly they could easily just be s/^ / / on the affected lines
though sipcalc is interesting in that it uses two levels of indent for
effect.
I've attached the lines that I think are wrong to this message.
