Debiandoc was a great innovation when Ardo (& others) put it together.. But I
would STRONGLY advise against starting a new doc project based on debiandoc. In
a nutshell, debiandoc-sgml doesn't (IMO) possess sufficient complexity to
represent the kind of info you're talking about.

Furthermore, the docbook --> debiandoc conversion can easily be done, but the
reverse (one to many) would create many headaches.

If my $0.02 mean anything, I'd suggest you convert the original docs to
docbook-xml. It'll save much effort in the long run.

Cheers,
Mark
