This is what I am doing now as a workaround.
I know that inside latex it does not make sence...
but afaik one of the ideas behind org is that you can write plain text
and the exporter does the markup.
The "\n:t" option should tell the latex exporter to put a "\\" at the
end of each linebreak.
At least that is what I would wish. :)
