Bug#739612: ste-plugins: package description format problem

Package: ste-plugins
Version: 0.0.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

The long description for ste-plugins is obviously meant to be a
bulleted list; but it lacks the required indent, so it gets re-wrapped
on displays such as "https://packages.debian.org/sid/ste-plugins":

> A set of stereo plugins. * Stereo width * Stereo balance and panner

My patch adds the one-character indent; while I was doing that I've
also turned it into a punctuated sentence.

| Description: stereo LADPSA plugins
|  This package provides a set of stereo plugins:
|   * Stereo width;
|   * Stereo balance and panner.

(I assume there's some good reason that's two bulletpoints rather than
three... there's no sign of documentation on the upstream homepage.)
