What I meant was...
For creating correct latex source from sgml, fixing in our style is
ad-hoc way. Ardo will certainly change SGML conversion catalog.
That is much cleaner if one knows where to change as upstream package
owner (Ardo). But it is not practical for us (Osamu and Jens) to do
this equivalent in our package.

I hope debiandoc2latex* script to add functionality to run a script on
tex files. But eventually, most of the thing we did there should be
taken care by the official SGML conversion catalog.

I think fundamental strings such as Chapter, Table of Contents, ...
are already taken care but having a capability to customize will be nice
anyway.

The current created files has Chapter and Table of Contents.

We need some expert opinion on which is most mature and what encoding
they support as input and output.
