Right, this discussion is going nowhere, and there are a lot of egos in
play. At the moment I'm thinking PK should just do this:
---------------------------------------------
This is a spec file description or
an update description in bohdi.
The following things 'were' fixed:
- Fix `dave'
- Fubar update because of "security"
--------------------------------------------
This will be converted by gnome-packagekit into:
---------------------------------------------

The double quotes will be marked translated as left and right chars (so
« and » can be used), the LaTeX single quotes (and double will be
expanded and "- " converted to bullets.
If you're doing to use ☠ or ☢ in a spec file, then the text box is going
to look rubbish and be all on one line. If you use a description longer
than a few hundred words, gnome-packagekit will truncate it.
Now I'm going to go back to coding, rather than talking to angry people.
