You can find that information in the document you linked to in your
message.
:)

http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ap-appendix.en.html#s-docformat

That says that they use (I quote):
"A.4 Document format
This document was written using the DebianDoc SGML DTD (rewritten from
LinuxDoc SGML). The DebianDoc SGML system enables us to create files in
a variety of formats from one source, e.g. this document can be viewed
as HTML, plain text, TeX DVI, PostScript, PDF, and GNU info.

Conversion utilities for DebianDoc SGML are available in the Debian
package debiandoc-sgml."
