That's not an error. The file is marked up as reStructuredText, and
the ‘::’ at end of a paragraph introduces a block of literal text.

I'm tempted to change this bug report to request the ‘README.Debian’
file state explicitly that it uses reST markup, perhaps via a reST
comment at the end.

Vieno Foo, do you think that would be a good resolution to this bug
report?
