I doubt most users will install them on their own, but I've found
them to be moderately useful in tracking down crashes. It's easier
to convince people to install a -dbg package than to convince them to
recompile the program from source.

ecause the Markdown syntax documentation doesn't even mention
nested lists, let alone define how exactly they should be written in a
Markdown document. I guess maybe you could say they're undefined and
the processor will do whatever it does? :-/ In the RST spec this is

As a practical matter, downgrading these dependencies will cause
aptitude and other package managers to believe that the documentation
is unnecessary and suggest removing it.

Another question -- I realize the proposed API has been out for a while, but
is it possible that the TEXT command could be modified to take a priority?
There are probably notifications that the maintainer scripts could display
