The problem starts with the DTD version change, -D 2003-11-17 works
but -D 2003-11-18 do not.  I suspect the real problem is that Debian's
DocBook tool cannot handle 4.2, only 3.1.  If this is a general
problem, supporting both is one alternative, but most likely it will
be rather complicated, so asking Debian to fix the problem is probably
the best solution (I have already sent a Debian bug report, I'll add a
reference to this thread to it).
