I note that since I submitted the bug (with patch), the DEP5 draft has
has some changes. I have not updated the patch, because a) the draft
might still change b) there's no clear indication what the desired
format for debian-policy is. Updating the patch should, I think, be done
only after the draft is final and policy is ready to include it in the
package (even if only in the policy VCS repository). Converting the DEP5
draft to whatever format is acceptable to policy should be fairly quick,
only an evening's work or so. DEP5 should not require anything much in
the form of markup, except tables (not sure if debiandoc supports
tables).
Having DEP5 wait for some docbook work in the debian-policy package
would be unfortunate.
