I now see where you are coming from. It does look strange in the plain
text quoted out of context.
This is a "Note" part in the "pbuilder" section and there is
"~/.pbuilderrc" which defines "EXTRASPACKAGES" right before this "Note".
"EXTRAPACKAGE" is in <strong> to indicate that it is not a regular word.

Sure. I have the full generated HTML at:
https://people.debian.org/~osamu/maint-guide.html
The corresponding part for the above case is:
https://people.debian.org/~osamu/maint-guide.html#pbuilder-setup
This HTML file should make it easier to see the context for HTML diffs.

Osamu
