NAME
wrap-and-sort - wrap long lines and sort items in packaging files
SYNOPSIS
wrap-and-sort

DESCRIPTION
wrap-and-sort wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By
default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are longer
than 80 characters. wrap-and-sort sorts the package lists in Debian
control files and all .install files. Beside that wrap-and-sort removes
trailing spaces in these files.
