First: I'm in vacation, so nothing will happen before September 12th and I'll
probably be unsable to naswer before Sunday.
Second: Release 1.76.0 is the same code as 1.76.0-RC1 without changes.
The new release contains almost bug-fixes. A few of them have already been
tested by Debian users (e.g. the portable apostrophe fix). Of course
there are also changes not yet tested. Unfortunately there isn't a test-
suite to test for regressions. There is just some crude test-suite for manual
pages.
What I can do is to test packages build-depending on docbook-xsl(-ns) and
check the results and tell you then. This can happen next week.
I would really like to get this release into Squeeze, but I understand your
objections.
Regards, Daniel
