We have a package named docbook-xml-simple, which is quite out of date. I propose installing a new package called docbook-simple, to conflict with and replace docbook-xml-simple. The reasons are:
a) There isn't any docbook-sgml-simple, so there's no need to distinguish docbook-xml-simple from docbook-simple. b) The docbook-simple DTD has undergone a significant version numbering change. Whereas the last version of docbook-xml-simple was 4.1.2.4, the version of the current release of docbook-simple is 1.0CR2. I would guess that adopting this new version numbering scheme would require at least an epoch change. c) The package docbook-xml-simple came with several versions of the simplified DocBook DTD, corresponding to various versions of the DTD for DocBook itself. This suggests that docbook-simple is a case where one might want to keep around old versions of the package. The package docbook-simple could just co-exist with docbook-xml-simple. This matters because docbook-slides (which is no longer in the archive, but which I would like to resurrect with its newer version) depends on a new-ish version of docbook-simple. Therefore, if there was some agreement on how the new version of the simplified DocBook DTD should be packaged, I could proceed to finish packaging the new version of docbook-slides. Comments?
