You should not remove the authorgroup|author|editor|othercredit elements. Instead remove the separate "AUTHOR" section (implemented using a refsect1 element), as it is created automatically from the mentioned elements. The copyright and license information this section contains, should better be put into the copyright|legalnotice elements, which are also processed and a copyright and license section will be output too. Have a look at my proposal attached to bug #383495. In reply to myself (http://bugs.debian.org/383495): > I would like to request an update of the manpage.xml.ex example, dh_make > uses.

I merged both reports, because they IMO belong together. Regards, Daniel
