question about docbook*simple

[Susan Kleinmann <sgk@kleinmann.com>]

We have a package named docbook-xml-simple, which is quite out of date.
I propose installing a new package called docbook-simple, to conflict
with and replace docbook-xml-simple.  The reasons are:

a) There isn't any docbook-sgml-simple, so there's no need to distinguish
   docbook-xml-simple from docbook-simple.
b) The docbook-simple DTD has undergone a significant version numbering 
   change.  Whereas the last version of docbook-xml-simple was 4.1.2.4,
   the version of the current release of docbook-simple is 1.0CR2.  I would
   guess that adopting this new version numbering scheme would require at least
   an epoch change.
c) The package docbook-xml-simple came with several versions of the simplified
   DocBook DTD, corresponding to various versions of the DTD for DocBook 
   itself.  This suggests that docbook-simple is a case where one might
   want to keep around old versions of the package.  The package
   docbook-simple could just co-exist with docbook-xml-simple.

This matters because docbook-slides (which is no longer in the archive,
but which I would like to resurrect with its newer version) depends on 
a new-ish version of docbook-simple.

Therefore, if there was some agreement on how the new version of the
simplified DocBook DTD should be packaged, I could proceed to finish
packaging the new version of docbook-slides.
