We don't ship those entities but rather use the SGML/XML entities in
the standard place as defined in the LSB SGML/XML directory layout
spec.
I don't see why each DTD package should have to drag around standard
XML ISO entities with them. Thus in Debian we ship them in the
sgml-data package. That saves disk space and is easier to maintain.
As I read the copyright, it's perfectly ok to change the system
identifiers referenced in the DocBk XML DTD.
