Hi,

I'm in doubt about the install-sgmlcatalog-deprecated check. It seems,
this check was added during fixing http://bugs.debian.org/90019. It
seems, we are required to put install-sgmlcatalog calls into prerm to
make lintian stop complaining. But I'm wondering, why? I did not find an
explanation in the report. What is so bad in making the transition in
postinst?

Regards, Daniel

This was fixed in 1.23.35, but I forgot to add a bug closer.

  * checks/scripts{.desc,}:
    + [RA] Allow install-sgmlcatalog --remove in postinst as well as
      prerm and suggest removing it entirely in the long description.
