Is it possible to have Calibre not change the description metadata read from the file?

I have also noticed that, when editing the description, Calibre will automatically add a DIV wrapper around an entry that has multiple <p> entries. Is there a way to stop it doing this?
NO

The Metadata update comes from the Library, if it is the same, you see no change.

I have never seen </p> <p> replaced with a <br />. Your original souce must have some weird error embedded.
I have converted many a book and not seen a <div> used. Again weird SOURCE is the only logical.
Validate your HTML before passing it to Calibre is the only recommendation I can suggest.
