Coming late, I have not followed the full discussion closely, so my remark
may be out of tune. I think our descriptions should be formatted as simply
as possible: just plain ascii text, which would work in any locale (or if
you insist, maybe utf8).
So far, I simply avoided lists in package descriptions; usually, by
replacing
"The bla package contains
- A
- B
- C"
by "The bla package contains A; B; C." or similarly.
