I'm not sure how that's relevant to this RFP. Sure, like any other
software, markdown-toc has bugs. :) Those are not critical and the thing
generally works in my use cases. I think it can be packaged as is.

I'm sure you guys did a great job and it's nice to see so many ELPA
packages being added into Debian. Unfortunately, I don't have much time
to handle the packaging myself so if you do not mind I'll stay on this
side of the packaging for now. :) If I do find the time, you'll be the
first to know (here) that I can work on a package of course.
