Yeah, Debian ships with a tad older one, and I've been using
asciidoc 8.5.2 on my primary box.

I'm experimenting a newer one from the latest tarball (asciidoc
8.6.8) and the result looks promising.  If everything goes smoothly,
I'll probably do another -rc before the final 1.8.1 release goes out
with the new asciidoc, but no promises (yet).

Thanks.
