I haven't read the whole long thread, so perhaps this has been mentioned
by someone else. Python has recently decided to convert their
documentation to reStructuredText [1]. It would make a lot of sense for
Debian to use that de-facto standard (or some subset of it) for text
typesetting in the long descriptions, rather than re-inventing the wheel.
Cheers,
Morten
