I'd probably go with | python-html2text if we weren't replacing html2markdown. The author announces the progam to be a converter to markdowsn, so it would be nice to have symlink to: /usr/bin/html2markdown This way users can use find(1) along PATH for the magic word. Same for Debian package search. I'll file my package remove request ASAP.

I can provide a link in /usr/bin (although I'll have to use alternatives, to provide it in both the Python2 and 3 packages). Done in SVN, including a transitional package to replace html2markdown. Jari, I don't want to replace your package without your approval. BTW: The python-html2text package is maintained in DPMT. If you have a continued interest in this package, you are welcome to join the team and co-maintain it.

Hi Simon (2011.02.24_01:31:39_+0200) python-html2text is version 3.01 of the same HTML to Markdown converter, packaged as a library (it can also be run as a script, but doesn't have a link or wrapper in /usr/bin). I can provide a link in /usr/bin (although I'll have to use alternatives, to provide it in both the Python2 and 3 packages). As html2markdown has no reverse dependencies, we don't have to keep that name for the binary, but we can't use html2text, as it's provided by the annoyingly completely different converter :) Any suggestions? python-html2text? html2markdown? I'd probably go with python-html2text if we weren't replacing html2markdown. Jari: Is this approach OK with you?

Package: python-html2text,html2markdown Severity: wishlist html2markdown is version 2.39 of Aaron Swartz' HTML to Markdown converter html2text, packaged as an executable script. python-html2text is version 3.01 of the same HTML to Markdown converter, packaged as a library (it can also be run as a script, but doesn't have a link or wrapper in /usr/bin). Any chance you could merge the two packages into one that provides both modes of use? According to Debian Python policy it'd have to be called python-html2text, but it could also provide /usr/bin/html2markdown and have Provides: html2markdown. Not to be confused with the html2text Debian package, which, annoyingly, is a completely different HTML-to-text converter...
