Yeah, it is .deb related. I meant that I kept the same directory structure with
respect to entities as in your original distribution. And that I used the entity
files you provide. This is different from some debian dtd packages that use
symlinks to refer to already installed entities.

Happily. What about the removed titleabbrev and articleinfo elements from
versions > 4.1.2.1? Doesn't this removal break the backward compatibility with
versions < 4.1.2.1?
I'll gladly ditch 'em if you still feel that backward compatability won't break.

When testing my docbook-xsl-tools package (XT + catalog classes) I kept getting
problems with (I think) UTF-8 encoding when using the /html/xtchunk.xsl
stylesheet with full DocBook XML 4.1.2. I would get what looked like
scandinavian characters (~angstrom a's) with the thingee over the A in place of
the prev/next nav links for a one-page document that wasn't supposed to have the
links anyway.
The output of xhtml/xtchunk.xsl was ok, but I had to change the filename
extension from xhtm to html.
Doesn't this happen to you?
