I'd suggest to not separate items in the item list in difffferent
paragraphs. That will make the display much longer for no real
benefit.
Also, the "Please select a profile" sentence seems to be unneeded.
Finally, you really need to have two spaces at the beginning of each line
for the list to be hard-formatted.
So, that would lead to:
Template: vidalia/tor-daemon-interaction
Type: select
Choices-C: nothing, stop-once, stop-forever
__Choices: No Configuration, Stop Tor once, Stop Tor forever
Default: stop-forever
_Description: Tor restart profile (for Vidalia):
Vidalia needs to communicate with the running Tor daemon so that it
can provide a graphical user interface for it. This requires either
the manual reconfiguration of Tor to allow a secure authentication
(recommended) or a restart of Tor under Vidalia's control.
* No configuration: leave Tor running for now. Vidalia will not be
able to communicate with it until manually reconfigured -
see "/usr/share/doc/vidalia/README.Debian" for more details;
* Stop Tor once: stop Tor now so Vidalia can start it, just for this time,
Tor will start by it's own on next reboot and manual configuration
will be further required;
* Stop Tor forever: stop Tor and simply let Vidalia start it
whenever you run Vidalia.
Another option, a little bit more readable, though longer:
_Description: Tor restart profile (for Vidalia):
Vidalia needs to communicate with the running Tor daemon so that it
can provide a graphical user interface for it. This requires either
the manual reconfiguration of Tor to allow a secure authentication
(recommended) or a restart of Tor under Vidalia's control.
* No configuration: leave Tor running for now. Vidalia will not be
able to communicate with it until manually
reconfigured - see "/usr/share/doc/vidalia/README.Debian"
for more details;
* Stop Tor once: stop Tor now so Vidalia can start it, just for this time,
Tor will start by it's own on next reboot and manual
configuration will be further required;
* Stop Tor forever: stop Tor and simply let Vidalia start it
whenever you run Vidalia.
