Thank you! However, the original is somehow rendered correctly for me:
-1 Read just 1 line (new passphrase). This is needed to use
pwqcheck as the passwordcheck program on OpenBSD - e.g., with
":passwordcheck=/usr/bin/pwqcheck -1:\" in the "default" section
in /etc/login.conf.
Is this not how it was getting rendered on Debian prior to the patch?

This is correct.

Speaking of Debian package maintenance, any plans to update to 1.3.1?
We released 1.3.1 in 2016 in response to a bug reported via Debian, but
somehow Debian itself didn't care to update nor fix the bug:
