Bug#696363: devscripts: Repeated-word typo in wrap-and-sort man page

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.6
Severity: minor

In the man page for wrap-and-sort, the entry for the '--wrap-always' option reads:

               Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file  even  if  the
               entries are shorter than 80 characters and could fit in one line
               line.

The word "line" appears twice at the end of the sentence. In an 80-column
terminal, this sentence is line-wrapped in between the repeated words, making
this easy to overlook; however, in a larger terminal the error is more visible.
