Ardo, I do not see the exact problem on current installmanual in section 5.4 but see similar problem in appendix. (I remember seeing it a lot with the old woody TEX before freeze.)
With the released woody version of TEX, run over of right margin by URL is rare (mostly <example> section. I am limiting 72char/line for that to avoid this.) Problem in appendix is happening with TAGLIST's TAG. Somewhat similar to Bug 61038. Something like: <taglist> <tag>Title of section <taglist> <tag><ref id="&long-url1;" name="long-name1"> <tag><ref id="&long-url2;" name="long-name2"> <tag><ref id="&long-url3;" name="long-name3"> <item>Explanation </taglist> ... </taglist> For me, this can be easily fixed by avoiding this aggressive use of tag list. I wonder following does better? <sec?>Title of section <list compact> <item><ref id="&long-url1;" name="long-name1"> <item><ref id="&long-url2;" name="long-name2"> <item><ref id="&long-url3;" name="long-name3"> </list> <p>Explanation </sec?> ... We may add <strong>...</> to emulate bold. Can you confirm exact location of problem? There may be a way to fix this without hacking with debiandoc-sgml which seem to work fine for me. My "Debian Reference" has quite a bit of long URL. TAG to me sounds like some short header thus may not need folding line capability.
