This package has a file called /usr/share/doc/httpie/README.rst.gz .
Actually it is plain text written in syntax of reStructuredText:

http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReStructuredText

It is quite human readable, because it is so called lightweight markup
language:

But it is really meant to be converted to other formats, especially
HTML and PDF (via LaTeX). Here is my very huge example of converting
reStructuredText to umpteen gazillion formats:

I fail to see how this could be severity important. Personnaly, I don't
see the gain of having it converted to HTML and PDF. It would make the
package more complex than it needs to be, but of course, only my
opinion.

Downgrading severity to wishlist.
