Bug#105538: section C.2.3(in html format) has an incorrectly formated changelog example



package: debian-policy
version: 3.5.5.0

--
   That format is a series of entries like this:
       package (version) distribution(s); urgency=urgency

        * change details
        more change details
        * even more change details

       -- maintainer name and email address  date

   package and version are the source package name and version number.

The proper format, with proper spacing, is:

package (version) distribution(s); urgency=urgency
[optional blank line(s), stripped]
  changelog details
[blank line(s), included in output of dpkg-parsechangelog]
  changelog details
[optional blank line(s), stripped]
 -- maintainer name and email address[2 spaces]date

Again, I am not sure how details -policy should be about things, as it makes
changing them difficult(for extension purposes)
