Hi Benoît,
I want to inform you about Debian BTS report #584670 [1]:
For articles in db2latex style the title and author information is shown
twice on the title page. It seems the repetition has been introduced
with book documents in mind: there the repeated elements are placed on a
separate page together with some other header information. Thus Roland
Stigge's idea of just omitting the repetition should probably be
restricted to article documents.
I've attached a patch [2] as a suggestion how to avoid the repetition
for article documents, as usual it is meant as a temporary workaround
until you choose an upstream solution.
