I haven't read the whole long thread, so perhaps this has been mentioned by someone else. Python has recently decided to convert their documentation to reStructuredText [1]. It would make a lot of sense for Debian to use that de-facto standard (or some subset of it) for text typesetting in the long descriptions, rather than re-inventing the wheel.
My understanding is that we currently have the choice between Markdown and reStructuredText and from my point of view the right place to continue the discussion is http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/04/msg01132.html For my understanding it is decided to use a formating library and I tried to compare two portantial candidates. Further investigation should be done - preferably by people who really know these libraries. My time for such things is currently limited.
