I don't understand why you want to mess with it at all? Why can't you show exactly what's in bodhi, or exactly what's in the rpm headers?
Because people file bugs when word wrapping is not done correctly
People also don't use the UTF8 chars in update descriptions or spec file changelogs, and quite understandably, there's no bullet key on most keyboards. Using a * is so 1980's.
Richard, I'm sorry but I think if you're going to suggest a specialized format for the description tag and/or try to change pkgs to comply with this format or file bugs about non-complying pkgs then your suggestion should go to the Fedora Packaging or Fesco for approval. A change to the existing standard is going to need approval from more folks.
You may also consider approaching the opensuse and mandriva folks to make sure they are onboard, too.
