According to http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/debiandoc-sgml.html
debiandoc-sgml 1.1.94, which contains this fix for teTeX 3.0, migrated
to testing.  Unfortunately, teTeX 3.0 has not yet migrated to testing.
And the fix is incompatible with the teTeX 2.0.2 that is in testing.
Hopefully, teTeX 3.0 will migrate to testing in the next couple of days,
which would then solve this problem. I don't see a clean and simple
solution for this.
