Yes, these are prettified as well now.  I also added a table of
contents, and updated the example to include more than one package:

Dago is already thinking of creating some kind of a pipeline: a set of
packages is picked up (a command line tool, or dropping into a
directory), then dissected by checkpkg.  A HTML report is generated
and the package gets also unpacked into a directory from which the
contents is served over HTTP.

I've also added a flag to specify the HTML template to use.  Dago can
now experiment with adding links, for instance.
