Not a package, but there is \obeylines (plain TeX) that will
preserve line breaks - e.g. Knuth[1] suggests that it be used for
typesetting poetry:

{\obeylines\smallskip
Roses are red,
\quad Violets are blue;
Rhymes can be typeset
\quad with boxes and glue.
\smallskip}

It apparently works by pretending that the newline is a \par token.
