All reports of debian-news-entry-uses-asterisk for the archive. The extended description of this tag is:

The latest entry in NEWS.Debian appears to use asterisks to present changes in a bulleted list, similar to the normal changelog syntax. The Debian Developer's Reference recommends using regular paragraphs in NEWS.Debian rather than a bulleted list.

Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 6.3.4 (Supplementing changelogs with NEWS.Debian files) for details.

Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible

Check: changelog-file, Type: binary
