Hi. I add debian-doc ML at Cc: of this mail.
This bug reported against that sgml-tools V1 can not handle the debiandoc dtd documents.

Then, If a C compiler can not compile the C++ source code, do you think it is buggy ? I don't think so. joey> > /usr/bin/debiandoc2latex2e is the convert command to get joey> > the result in latex2e format. joey> joey> If I remember where I needed it I'll try this one. I think the DebianDoc DTD is different one from LinuxDoc DTD, if this sgml-tools V1 was buggy because it can not handle the DebianDoc DTD, then sgmltools-2 and jade should be marked as well as sgml-tools V1, because they can not handle LinuxDoc DTD. I think this bug report should be forwarded, but since the upstream does not have interest on enhancement of sgml-tools v1 because he tried to develop sgmltool-2, and sgmltools-2 can not handle the linuxdoc dtd, and LDP still uses linuxdoc DTD, so we Debian should provide this old sgml-tools v1 package. So I set severity wishlist for this report, and others similar to this. If just to add symlink is enough to support debiandoc dtd, I will do it, but I don't think so,,, Comment from anyone ?
