That´s OK, please keep us informed here.

BTW I submitted a bug report to the Debian BTS for package WNPP 
(Work-Needing and Prospective Packages) requesting the packaging
of the DocBook XSL stylesheets (Bug#77753). If you become an official
Debian maintainer you can adopt this package and close the bug.

Please allow me some observations regarding your current
docbook-website-17_1.7-2.deb:

- is it really necessary to include the version no. of website to the
  subdirectory (/usr/lib/sgml/dtd/docbook-website-17/)?
  I suggest to ommit the version no. completely _or_ put all v1.x
  upstream files into a subdir "1.x" (like it is done for the official
  docbook-xml deb).

- the same could be done for the XSL stylesheet files

- the catalog entry could contain entries like:
  PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Website V1.8//EN" 
"dtd/docbook-website/1.8/website.dtd"
  PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Website V1//EN" 
"dtd/docbook-website/1.8/website.dtd"
  PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DTD Website//EN" 
"dtd/docbook-website/1.8/website.dtd"

Maybe more experienced Debian (SGML) maintainers (Adam Di Carlo) could 
tell us their opinion.
