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).
