I stumbled upon the same thing that was reported by Reuben Thomas on
08/01/2009. Therefore I changed the status of this bug to »confirmed«
now.

The garbled/odd characters in the English package description [1] of
»etoys« are visible in the translation template »ddtp-ubuntu-multiverse«
(e.g. for Natty) in Launchpad: This is the Squeak image developed for
the OLPC project.

Though, interestingly, these characters () do NOT show up on …

a) Ubuntu Linux 10.10 64-Bit (Kernel 2.6.35-25-generic 44-Ubuntu SMP …)
   - When using the Ubuntu Software Center
   - When using Synaptic
   - When using »sudo apt-cache show etoys«

b) Ubuntu Linux 11.04 alpha 32-Bit (Kernel 2.6.38-5-generic 32-Ubuntu SMP …)
   - When using the Ubuntu Software Center
   - When using Synaptic
   - When using »sudo apt-cache show etoys«

Is it possible that this is a bug ONLY related to some problems during a
translation import (upload) to Launchpad? If so, please forward this
appropriately.

Thanks!

Title:
  Odd characters in package description

Status in “etoys” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: etoys

  The last line of the package description starts with odd characters:

  " This is the Squeak image developed for the OLPC project."

  This doesn't happen in the Debian package, for some reason (same base
  version).
