Since release_7.8.11-282-gb04f9e3 the commands C-c and M-q
(org-fill-paragraph) leave the manual alignment of descr untouched
which is perfect for what I want to achieve:

  - cmd ::                    short term + short descr
  - cmd -o <dst> <src> ::     short term + short descr
  - cmd --log-level=err -o <dst> <src> ::
                              long term + short descr
  - cmd --create-file ::      short term + long descr bla bla bla bla
       bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
       bla bla bla
  - cmd --log-level=wrn -o <dst> <src> ::
                              long term + long descr bla bla bla bla
       bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
       bla bla bla
  - cmd --log-level=dbg -o <dst> <src> ::
    - term descr 1
    - term descr 2

Most of the time lists with only short terms:

  - cmd                :: short term + short descr
  - cmd -o <dst> <src> :: short term + short descr
  - cmd --create-file  :: short term + long descr bla bla bla bla bla
       bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
       bla bla
