Bug#865847: Use reStructuredText for Lintian manual

["Chris Lamb" <lamby@debian.org>]

Hi Felix,

First, thanks for working on this. Really appreciated.

So, whilst this might sound like the usual tedious "my format is
better than your format" argument, the consensus and trend over the
most recent couple of years has been free software projects either
starting or migrating text to using Markdown over every other format
else bar none. For example, GitLab (including Salsa) and GitHub (ie.
the "rest" of the internet, sigh...) are certainly are using this
format.

Thus, would it be a lot of work to quickly move to that from here
whilst we are making the time and effort to make the change? I think
you have done most of the work, at the very least; the formats are
very similar.


Regards,
