JFTR: I'm in discussion with maintainers of other distributions
(initiated by Peter Volkov from Gentoo), because all distributions
rename the docbook2x utils in a different way to solve the name conflict
with docbook-utils (also noted at #262990). We are near a compromise,
but upstream does not answer to our mails so the final decision is
delayed.

For the moment the change done in 0.8.8-8 just adjusts the program names
in the manual pages to what we used for years for the commands - IMHO a
correct fix for the documentation.
