I believe that you are a bit late into this discussion. Initially I
proposed[63] a solution not involving triggers in the spirit of minimal
changes. Then Daniel Leidert being a member of the XML/SGML Group
requested[78] that the package catalogs be created at build time and be
shipped as conffiles. Later Joey Hess[164] requested that the central
catalog be generated using triggers. At that time both requests made
sense (and to me they still do). There were no objections and I did not
see the dpkg conffile trigger issue #676062 coming. So I implemented
both.
The current state is that there are no non-transition issues left. Once
you are on sid, there are no sgml-base specific rc bugs affecting you.
Going "back" will not make the transitioning part any easier. At least I
don't see how that would work, but maybe your yet hidden solution can
surprise me?
