  It may contains `;` characters (even like this `;;;;`). Example:

    - one;
    - two;
    - three;

  ... and they are properly handled by the automatic description formatter!

# ATTENTION The code in `cmCPackGenerator.cxx` to read `CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE`
# has a BUG: it appends the `\n` character to every line of the
# input, even if there was no EOL (e.g. at the last line of the file).
# That is WHY for this sub-test the one more pre-formatted "empty"
# line required!
# NOTE For component based installers content of the file gonna read by
# `CPackDeb` module and the `file(READ...)` command so no the mentioned
# workaround required!
