Hi Stewart, This is (probably) a bug in sgml-data, as that package should create symlinks instead of empty directories.
Check to see that that sgml-data does indeed install these entities (probably now under /usr/share/xml). If it does, then file a bug report against sgml-data for a policy violation, because of the broken compatibility symlinks. In the meantime, try changing the empty into a symlink that points to the correct entities under /usr/share/xml, and everything should then work properly.
