Then, If a C compiler can not compile the C++ source code,
do you think it is buggy ? I don't think so.

I think the DebianDoc DTD is different one from LinuxDoc DTD,
if this sgml-tools V1 was buggy because it can not
handle the DebianDoc DTD, then sgmltools-2 and jade should be marked
as well as sgml-tools V1, because they can not handle LinuxDoc DTD.
I think this bug report should be forwarded, but since the upstream
does not have interest on enhancement of sgml-tools v1 because he
tried to develop sgmltool-2, and sgmltools-2 can not handle the linuxdoc
dtd, and LDP still uses linuxdoc DTD, so we Debian should provide this
old sgml-tools v1 package.
So I set severity wishlist for this report, and others similar to this.
If just to add symlink is enough to support debiandoc dtd, I will do it,
but I don't think so,,,
Comment from anyone ? Please.
