Bug#475992: openoffice.org-presentation-minimizer: preformating of long description quite unfriendly



Package: openoffice.org-presentation-minimizer
Version: 1.0+OOo2.4.0-3
Severity: minor

        Hi!

 The long description of openoffice.org-presentation-minimizer is pretty
unfriendly to description renderers:

#v+
Description: OpenOffice.org Presentation Minimizer extension
 OpenOffice.org is a full-featured office productivity suite that provides
 a near drop-in replacement for Microsoft(R) Office.
 .
 This package contains the presentation minimizer extension:
 "The Sun Presentation Minimizer is used to reduce the file size of the
  current presentation. Images will be compressed, and data that is no longer
  needed will be removed.
  The Sun Presentation Minimizer can optimize the image quality size.
  Presentations designed for screen or projector do not require the same high
  quality as presentations designed for print."
#v-

 Please notice that the first two lines of the second paragraph will get
rendered together as one long line but the next lines will stay how they
are. Personally I would vote for removing the second space from those
lines, I don't see any real need for why it should stay preformated as
that, it doesn't really look formated at all.

 E.g. take a look at "aptitude show openoffice.org-presentation-minimizer"
or at http://packages.debian.org/sid/openoffice.org-presentation-minimizer
for a glance of how the result looks. I am pretty sure that this is not
what was longed for.

 So long, and thanks for your great work nevertheless!
Rhonda
