No need for a new element.  Just extend enumlist a la LaTeX, which considers
it perfectly normal to have lettered tags in an "enumerate" environment.

It seems the docbook dtd allows for quite a wide range of cases.  In
keeping with the simplicity of the rest of debiandoc, you might just
want to stick with adding docbook's "numeration" attribute for
orderedlist:

                Numeration      (Arabic
                                |Upperalpha
                                |Loweralpha
                                |Upperroman
                                |Lowerroman)    #IMPLIED

Or abbreviate to "num".  Thus <enumlist num=upperalpha> would work for
the FDL.

Thanks.  Shall I file the wishlist based on the above, then? I'm not
sure whether you're looking for detail in the wishlist, or just the
general idea of what is needed.
