I'm going to support ReST here because I think the parsers for the
format are already in Ubuntu Main, which makes our lives easier.

We should probably note also if the test is the result of a bug being
filed. i.e. to verify a bug fix.

Also, I'm going to request that we have a common verifier for the
subformat we're creating so that we can automatically verify that the
manual tests match the proper format.
Oh, and a template generator, but I think I can write enough Python to
