<div>I think it only looks at the long_description metadata; as far as I know README is just another file in the archive.<br></div>

<div>If you do want to convert it, though, please make sure it can fail gracefully if pandoc isn&#39;t there, because it would be frustrating to have problems installing a package from source just because it couldn&#39;t convert the README format.<br></div>
