bug#36301: Package-Requires should support multiple lines |

Hi,
The Package-Requires line in my GNU ELPA package, Excorporate, is much
longer than 80 characters and I would like to wrap it. It would be nice
if package.el allowed Package-Requires to span multiple lines (see
patch). It's probably too late to change this but I thought I'd file a
bug report anyway.
