I'm the cygnus-stylesheets maintainer.

Here is my plan :

Make a docbook-utils who replace cygnus-stylesheets. When this new
package will be installed make a fake/empty cygnus-stylesheets who
depends only on docbook-utils.

Then make an announce in -devel and -gtk-gnome for these changes.

The cygnus-stylesheets package will be removed after the woody release.

How about docbook2man and docbk-xml2x who are included in docbook-utils ?
