Missing blank line in example of deb-src-control

[nthykier]

Hi,

The man 5 deb-src-control contains an example debian/control file. In regular man, this is rendered with a blank line between the two paragraphs but on https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/dpkg-dev/deb-src-control.5.en.html the blank line is missing has an empty line between the two paragrahs (it is not present in the HTML as far as I can tell, so it is not a rendering issue - something swallowed before it was sent to the browser).

Unfortunately, this missing newline changes the semantics of the example (as it merges the two paragraphs into one).

This seems to be an issue with mandoc:

@ischwarze Is this a known issue? Any idea what could be the problem here?
