  Description     : Use pandoc to create XML suitable for xml2rfc

Pandoc2rfc translates text written in the Markdown variant Pandoc to
documents in xml2rfc format. It's an easy way to write RFCs.

The documentation for Pandoc2rfc can be found at:
<http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7328.txt>.

pandoc2rfc appears to be relatively unmaintained upstream -- the
upstream author is focused instead on mmark, as you can see in the
top-level upstream README.md: https://github.com/miekg/pandoc2rfc

That document also points out that pandoc2rfc also cannot generate v3
xml2rfc xml.

Furthermore, pandoc2rfc's own self-test fails on debian buster (see
https://github.com/miekg/pandoc2rfc/issues/7).  I no longer think that
pandoc2rfc should be shipped in debian, so i'm closing this bug report.
