Package: maint-guide
Version: 1.2.15
Severity: normal

This bug report is for recording why I dropped docbook2x-man in next version
whilt ignoring previous fix to bug #498017.
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498017.

The template generated by the latest dh_make has example for both and contains
following note which is my concern.

> Notes for using docbook2x: docbook2x-man does not automatically create the
> AUTHOR(S) and COPYRIGHT sections. In this case, please add them manually as
> <refsect1> ... </refsect1>.

Popcon and other stats goes:

  #569828  [n|+|☣] [docbook-xsl] manpages/synop.xsl makes a mess of long 
function names
  <-- patch submitted.

Basically, docbook-xsl seems to be better maintained and used.  Thus I think we
focus on only on this for entry document.
