A `long-description' field would be nice, with a paragraph or more
describing the package. I want to try and auto-generate the debian
control file information from the package-info stuff. We use a
description field, with one ~65 char line then a paragraph or
so... You can read about it here:

I have begun to write a few of them, and can send patches... but I am
not satisfied with it the way I've got it now.
I just added a `long-description' key and a one-long-line inside
quotes. But the Debian descriptions can be several paragraphs, and
it is often useful to have them contain bulletted lists and
suchlike. We can't just use HTML since W3 is unbundled, right?
Any Ideas?
(I need to have a look at what other things I might need for the
autogen of control files too... I'll spend a little time on that
today.)
