Yes, the recognition, that the build systems of the version in Debian
and the latest upstream version are different and that there was no way
to make the update happen for Etch. I locally "compiled" the package
with xsltproc. But for a fully featured update, a new docbook-xsl-java
package is necessary, because several elements are not fully supported
by the XSLT processors we have in Debian. But the source for this
package was not yet officially released seprataely and I would like to
use this separate source. Discussion with upstream, respectively Michael
Smith, has already been done. Making a pdf also fails atm because of
bugs in the involved packages. And at least, it may also be possible to
simply ship the ready-to-use html files instead of self-creating these
files to workaround the above "issues".
If this is just a ping, if I'm active, then: Yes, I'm still actively
working to solve this bug.
Regards, Daniel
