I have found a guide line for package descriptions on 'pdb',
see
http://pdb.suse.de/doc/user/descriptions.html#pdb_attributes_descriptions_formatting

I suggest to take this (resp. parts of it) for the future guide line for
package descriptions in openSUSE. The package descriptions which are imported
for openSUSE to the spec-files mostly fulfill the guide line.

I have submitted yast2-ncurses-pkg-2.22.1 to Factory which creates html text
from the plain package description following this rules:

From 'pdb' guide line:
empty lines will be <p> tags. In a list environment, empty lines end the
list. linebreaks result in a single space, that means that a line break has no
special effect.

a not numbered list environment starts with a line that starts with an
asterix or a minus sign followed by at least one whitespace.

I have added:
a line which continues a list item starts with at least two whitespaces
