Ok, Enrico, just uploaded 1.15.5.5, which should fix this. You could
build it locally if the buildds have not yet picked it up if you need
it urgently to upload the debtags stuff.
Take into account though that the handling for multiline fields
parsing has slightly changed and now the second and subsequent lines
get the leading spaces preserved, and they also get properly dot
escaped if need be. So you don't need the leading space in the
Description field.
