Final Comment

Note the warning about possible-unindented-list-in-extended-description from cme dpkg fix.
All lines in the extended description should be preceded by a ' ', blank lines should be ' .'

There's a few other nags there as well, but I don't think any of this stops your package
from entering Debian - just fix them on your next upload.

Thanks!

The Fortran Standard Library aims to provide a community driven and agreed 
upon de facto "standard" library for Fortran, covering:
* Utilities (containers, strings, files, OS/environment integration,
  unit testing & assertions, logging, ...)
* Algorithms (searching and sorting, merging, ...)
* Mathematics (linear algebra, sparse matrices, special functions, 
  fast Fourier transform, random numbers, statistics, ordinary differential
  equations, numerical integration, optimization, ...)
This package provides the static library and Fortran module files.
