I like it! it seems better to me to keep "Comment" and the comment text
in the same line; especially since we strive to have "short" comments.
However, it seems to me that this has the chance of breaking other
tools. Reading this diff I've discovered the -l flag for pkg_info that
is meant to aid parsing the output of pkg_info. I have no clue if this
option is used anywhere, but I'd prefer not to discover it when we're
this close to the release :)
In particular, pkg_info -lxxx quirks will change:
@@ -1,7 +1,6 @@
xxxInformation for inst:quirks-7.10
-xxxComment:
-exceptions to pkg_add rules
+Comment: exceptions to pkg_add rules
