Hi, I'm the maintainer of sgml-base (which contains update-catalog).
As far as I'm concerned we can support any catalog design we need with any functionality to update catalogs in any way we need. After the /usr/lib/sgml -> /usr/share/sgml transition is complete (only a couple of packages need to convert; I'll start bugging the respective maintainers soon), there will be a complete redesign of the way we handle catalogs (per bug report #88010). If there are specific needs, and from what I read so far there are, then those will be taken into account when doing the design. I'll post an initial RFC.
