Version upgrades in stable

["John R. Daily" <john@geekhavoc.com>]

The docbook (DocBook DTD) package in woody is a candidate release
for 4.2, and as such is less useful and probably more troublesome
than the real thing.  I cannot state exactly how troublesome
without a working knowledge of catalogs.

Given that this should never have made it into a stable release,
and the complete lack of problems to users of the software that
an upgrade to the real 4.2 would cause, how difficult would it be
to get the package bumped to 4.2 in the first update to stable?

Are version upgrades in stable against policy or Policy?
