I guess true paragraph breaks are represented as two consecutive breaks (aka empty line), right?

In that case, you can use something like (without regexp):

Replace all paragraph breaks with "¬" (or some other unused char).
Replace all occurrences of "¬¬" with a paragraph break.
Replace all other occurrences of "¬" with a space.
