Right.  in my narrow Google search I can see that ipk is poorly
documented but this is what I found from web archive [1]

"Description should be a short, (less than 80 characters) description of
the program. It may also include a long description on subsequent lines,
(each indented by a single space character). Blank lines in the long
description may be indicated by a line consisting of a space character
followed by a period, ie " ."


So a multiline description, every line (including the first one) must
have a leading space. I tried the latter and worked so v3 to be sent
soon.
