Public bug reported:

markdown is a build-dependency of the dh-lua dh helper.

It's used to generate the dh-lua documentation from a markdown document.

markdown is an unprivileged perl script which converts a markdown
document into an html document.

Ubuntu is in sync with Debian. Development of the markdown tool appears
to be mostly stalled but bug history on either Launchpad or Debian looks
reasonable.


If there's a concern with promoting this simple tool to main, an alternative is 
to distro-patch dh-lua so that the documentation stays as markdown and isn't 
converted to html at the cost of future maintenance on our side as Debian would 
be unlikely to accept that regression on their side.
