According to Daniel Leidert, not reproducible in docbook2x >= 0.8.7.
Fixed in libxml-sax-perl 0.16-0.1 (verified that docbook2x 0.8.3 built
with this version) along with RC bug #419757.
For extra credit:
Fixed the following bugs blocking the invoke-rc.d transition (#438885):
341413 dict-easton
367734 dict-hitchcock
367725 net-acct
341415 dict-gcide
348259 dict-elements
367729 rbootd (additionally, FTBFS bug #379635)
367733 dict-moby-thesaurus
367737 dict-bouvier
367740 dict-gazetteer2k-zips
367755 tama
440574 memlockd (along with RC bugs #418666, #431529)
Fixed:
409473 & 424601 anon-proxy FTBFS
Pending fixes:
441449 memlockd FTBFS
anon-proxy is interesting. It looks like it's been abandoned by the
maintainer and the upstream[0] has rewritten it in Java. Its open bugs
lead me to believe it's not suitable for testing or a release.
