My thoughts on this are pretty easy. There are IMO three mechanisms to use: (1) Register the catalog, if it exists (and unregister any registered catalog, if it doesn't exist anymore). So users can remove the package catalog file. (2) Register the catalog only during installation, but not during upgrade. Usually we only add a catalog reference to the super catalog. (3) Catalog files should be written at build time not during installation. Instead of creating /etc/sgml/package.cat during installation, this should be created during package build. So the user can edit /etc/sgml/package.cat and /etc/sgml/catalog and we preserve these changes. If the user now changes /etc/sgml/package.cat and we need to ship an updated file, he should usually be asked, if he wishes to update the file during installation. IMO we don't need to check, what has been "disabled" or not. Or does this have any advantages IYO?
