Hi Brian,
how about that one?
1. I'm not able any more the directly convert your document using "xmlto
ps..." as it always complains about missing passivetex. According to my
knowledge there is passivetex still in Debian, but no passivetex command
or package. This has been reported: #797052.
2. Regarding the work flow below: I'm still able to reproduce it,
although I get a different error message.
Are you still interested in having this issue solved? If yes I'd find
out, where the bug is located (I guess xmltex is correct as you found
out) and then report @upstream.
