wrap-and-sort − wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files
wrap-and-sort [options]
wrap−and−sort wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are longer than 80 characters. wrap−and−sort sorts the package lists in Debian control files and all .install files. Beside that wrap−and−sort removes trailing spaces in these files.
This script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for control, control.in, copyright, copyright.in, install, and *.install in the debian directory.

−a, −−wrap−always
Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file even if the entries are shorter than 80 characters and could fit in one line line.
−s, −−short−indent
Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in−line with the field name).
