"man acct-group.eclass" currently renders that paragraph like this:

       Then you add appropriate dependency to your  package.   The  dependency
       type(s)  should be: - DEPEND (+ RDEPEND) if the group is already needed
       at build time, - RDEPEND if it is needed  at  install  time  (e.g.  you
       'fowners' files
         in pkg_preinst) or run time.

In other words, there's very little formatting support in eclassdoc.

So, while at it, could you reformat it that it will be better readable
in the generated man page?

(Same issue in acct-user.eclass.)
