Package: ufsparse
Severity: minor

The descriptions of the packages in ufsparse, are bad formatted
according to the policy. If you need to show some text literally, the
line should begin with two spaces, instead of one. This results in very
poor readability in package managers that format the description (e.g.,
aptitude):

$ aptitude show libufsparse
(...)
Descripción: collection of libraries for computations for sparse matrices
 UFSparse is a collection of libraries for computations involving sparse
 matrices.  The package includes the following libraries:

 AMD         approximate minimum degree ordering BTF         permutation to
 block triangular form (beta) COLAMD      column approximate minimum degree
 ordering CCOLAMD     constrained column approximate minimum degree ordering
 CHOLMOD     sparse Cholesky factorization CSparse     a concise sparse matrix
 package CXSparse    CSparse extended: complex matrix, int and long int support
 KLU         sparse LU factorization, primarily for circuit simulation LDL
 a simple LDL' factorization UMFPACK     sparse LU factorization UFconfig
 configuration file for all the above packages.

 This package contains the dynamic libraries.


See the description of another package (e.g., k3b) for an example, or Section
5.6.13 of the Debian Policy.

Thanks.
Greetings.
