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?
