I want this, so I've started packaging it, but I don't really have a
particular interest in maintaining it. Ricardo Mones also showed some
interest but probably in the same way as me, so we might possibly end
up co-maintaning it. But if there is someone else that wants to take
it over, please say so.

A very rough draft of the packaging can be found here:

  <http://git.hadrons.org/cgit/wip/debian/pkgs/multimarkdown.git/>

There's also a problem with file a conflict with the other multimarkdown
implementation in the archive that needs to be resolved before uploading
this.

Thanks,
Guillem
