Bug#1087820: debian-policy: allows README.source.md alternatively
Package: debian-policy
Found: 4.7.0.1
Currently https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#source-package-handling-debian-readme-source
talks about `README.source`.
I suggest we would allow this file to alternatively be in Markdown
format, and spell the filename as `README.source(.md)`.
The suffix is relevant as many tools recognize the file as Markdown
based on the suffix and will only render it correctly with the suffix.
I am proposing Markdown specifically as it has become an industry
standard for ASCII markup and use on README.md files is very common.
