I had a look at the preinst and postinst scripts of docbook-xsl, and as
far as I can tell, all the code there is obsolete and only triggering
when upgrading from very old (before 2009) versions of the package, and
do not touch the content  of /etc/xml/ at all.

This make me believe the preinst and postinst scripts should be removed
and the described issue is not present in docbook-xsl.  Perhaps it is in
docbook-xml instead?  Did not look at that package.
