Lintian tag: description-starts-with-leading-spaces

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The package's extended "Description:" paragraph starts with more than one
leading space. Usually, leading spaces are used to switch "verbatim
display" on (i.e., lines are not wrapped) so this might be a bug in the
package.

Visibility: warning
