It sounds like this is a manual that is only available in Debian? If
so please talk to upstream about including it and ask what format they
would prefer for documentation source. Personally I would recommend
one of the plain text formats like markdown or reStructuredText. Then
work out the conversion method. The pandoc package has a lot of
different converters. Once that is done and the documentation is
converted to upstream's preferred documentation source format, they
will need to add build-time conversion to an end-user format. In
Debian we recommend man or HTML but they probably will want different
formats depending on the platform. For example on Windows they will
probably want CHM format.
