Before discussing best practices, please at least read Debian policy
in particular section 5.6.13. `Description':
The lines in the extended description can have these formats:
* Those starting with two or more spaces. These will be displayed
verbatim. If the display cannot be panned horizontally, the
displaying program will line wrap them "hard" (i.e., without
taking account of word breaks). If it can they will be allowed
to trail off to the right. None, one or two initial spaces may
be deleted, but the number of spaces deleted from each line will
be the same (so that you can have indenting work correctly, for
example).
