Not only is it not documented anywhere, the behavior differs from frontend
to frontend. I've seen:
* the Bodhi web interface,
* the Bodhi mails,
* the update notices sent to fedora-package-announce,
* gnome-packagekit and
* KPackageKit
all using more or less subtly different interpretations of the newlines.
