Merge lp:~paulbrianstewart/ubuntu/oneiric/tellico/852247-Formatting-Fix into lp:ubuntu/oneiric/tellico

[Paul Stewart]

* Reformatted the description to include a list of the application features, rather than having them listed in one long sentence.

I changed the formatting of the long sentences in the description into bullet point lists.

[Stefano Rivera (stefanor)]

Thanks for this, your descriptions read much better than the original.
Please forward this change to Debian, that is the best place for this to be fixed. I don't like diverging from Debian, simply for a package description.

  This package contains the scripts to import data from external sources, such
  as websites. As the format of the data may change, these scripts are provided
  as a separate package which can be updated through debian-volatile.
