This preamble is not generated when profile-docbook.xsl is used (e.g. for
the manpages of the shadow package). I do not know exactly what was
applied to docbook.xsl to fix this bug, but the same should be applied to
profile-docbook.xsl.
On my local copy, I applied the attached patch, which permitted to
generate the preamble, but there may be other changes needed in
profile-docbook.xsl (a log of docbook.xsl might help here).
Therefore, I'm reopening this bug.
Thanks in advance,
