Hey everyone,

Is there anything wrong with using this code fragment in debian/rules
as a workaround? I originally found this in the gnome-terminal package
and ended up using it in my GNOME Clipboard Manager packages as well:

	# Remove URL DTD in the documentation
	find -name *.xml -exec perl -i -pe      \
	's,http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd,/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dtd/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd,'      \
	{} \;


Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
