I like the idea, the biggest problem will be the extra dependencies though.
Make sure that there are not too many.
I think the best implementation would just be a <postinst> tag with the normal
version selection attribute, and just have plaintext inside of it. Then
having that plaintext formatted (wordwrapping, coloring (or starts)) at the
moment it needs to displayed. You could even just an xsl sheet and xsltproc
(from libxslt) for it.
