This is a valid answer *if* we use sub-titling in reST.

Another solution for this - IMHO rather rare - case could be to just
use a ``.. rubric::`` immediately following a title or another class
for a normal paragraph.

Just like::

  =======
  Section
  =======

  ----------
  Subsection
  ----------

  Slide Title 1
  =============

  .. class:: subtitle

     This is the subtitle of slide 1

  * First point

  * Second point
