Public bug reported:

Not possible to install more than 1 of: 
- docbook-xsl-doc-html
- docbook-xsl-doc-pdf
- docbook-xsl-doc-text
(unless using some --force option I suppose)

I imagine there may be a valid reason for this, but should there be
additional "Conflicts" dependency rules in the above packages?

To reproduce:

sudo apt-get install docbook-xsl-doc-html docbook-xsl-doc-pdf
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
docbook-xsl-doc-html is already the newest version.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  docbook-xsl-doc-pdf

Need to get 0B/1052kB of archives.
After unpacking 1126kB of additional disk space will be used.
