Hi, Well, it seems I've to do things differently wrt sgml-base. In the current setup both conffiles /etc/sgml/catalog and /etc/sgml/transition.cat are changed in the postinst and prerm scripts of sgml-base which makes forces them to not be conffiles. So, we've a catch 22 here.
My proposol for this is to split sgml-base into sgml-common and sgml-base. The former will contain the setup for the new setup (update-catalog and /etc/sgml/catalog) and the latter for the old setup (install-sgmlcatalog and /etc/sgml/transition.cat), with sgml-base depending on sgml-common. The postinst of sgml-common moves /etc/sgml.catalog to /etc/sgml/transition.cat and the postinst of sgml-base adds /etc/sgml/transition.cat to the super catalog /etc/sgml/catalog. Both can now be conffiles again since neither are changed in the respective postinst/etc scripts. Packages moving over to the new setup have to change their dependency from sgml-base to sgml-common.
