Bug#921653: texlive-latex-extra: docindex.sty relies on unavailable xhj.sty, galley2.sty

[Braun Gábor <braungb88@gmail.com>]

Hi Hilmar,

I have problems finding contact information for the author.
I would welcome any ideas what else to try.

I have looked at the documentation for packages authored by
Lars Hellström, and only found the email address 
Lars.Hellstrom@math.umu.se (in e.g. xdoc2.pdf)
but I have received an 550 Address rejected answer for my email sent 
there.

An Internet search finds many people named Lars Hellström.

Yes, the package looks abandoned.

Best wishes,
