Re: Debian Reference --> XML conversion plan
Hi,
I have new automated XML conversion plan :-)
I knew debiandoc2dbxml tool but that was not automatic enough for me.
I an adding direct translation extension to debiandoc-sgml tool and had
success of converting to work (as a proof of concept).

arounds is good candidate.)

I think good auto conversion of all the key debian documents from
debiandoc-sgml to docbookxml is good step.

I did not understand "regression"?
contents reorganization
or
