Bug#527146: Interested to adopt

[markus schnalke <meillo@marmaro.de>]

I am interested to adopt the `deroff' package.

I use troff myself and very much like it, thus deroff is a useful tool
in my toolchest.

Before I run the ITA, I'd like to hear from you.

There are several implementations of deroff available. I found at
least these:
- http://swtch.com/plan9port/man/man1/deroff.html
- http://www.moria.de/~michael/deroff/
- http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/tools.html

Yet, I have only had a look at the heirloom implementation, which is
2300 SLOC of C. I much like your's to be 300 SLOC of lex, instead. But
I haven't compared the functions in detail.

I'd appreciate if you could comment on this.
