I'd like to know what's insane about avoiding to insert random line feeds.

So it's not abnormal that it took me much time to figure out that openoffice.org is actually Go-oo.

If you had red the first sentence, you'd have noticed that I already noticed the Homepage field.

Please kind in mind that not all users maitain openoffice.org, and therefore can hardly guess that it is Go-oo if you simply tell them the package is OOo. Until the description, the name or whatever clarifies, a bug report will hardly be a superfluous complement to the Homepage field to help those wondering.
