The question isn't really meaningful.  Debian accepts documentation
written in *whatever*.

Our primary internal documentation format uses our own DTD and
Perl/SGMLspm based SGML system (could be in DSSSL though!) called
debiandoc, which is mostly linuxdoc v1 but with some additional tags
for packages and such.

However, Debian includes a complete SGML toolchain.  I personally do
most of my documentation in DocBook/SGML.  I also have some custom XML
DTDs and DocBook DSSSL/DTD extensions that I use for work.  All this
activity is well-supported in Debian, which includes system entity and
catalog management capabilities.
