Bug#774942: texlive-latex-extra: package description has too many blank lines and is too long
Package: texlive-latex-extra
Version: 2014.20141024-1
Severity: wishlist
The texlive-latex-extra package description has too many blank lines,
making it too long:
Description: TeX Live: LaTeX additional packages
A very large collection of add-on packages for LaTeX.
.
This package includes the following CTAN packages:
.
2up --
.
ESIEEcv -- Curriculum vitae for French use.
.
GS1 -- Typeset EAN barcodes using TeX rules, only.
.
HA-prosper -- Patches and improvements for prosper.
.
Tabbing -- Tabbing with accented letters.
.
a0poster -- Support for designing posters on large paper.
.
a4wide -- "Wide" a4 layout.
.
a5comb -- Support for a5 paper sizes.
.
[...]
More than 1900 lines in total!
It may also be better to just give the CTAN package names, without
their description, and even that may be too much: using the Debian
package description may not be the best way to search for a CTAN
package anyway.
Note: other texlive-* packages also have these annoying blank lines
in their description.
