Hi Andreas, Are you specifically asking about Biopython 1.63 here? I think you can reasonable exclude this DTD file (and any others under the Bio/Entrez/DTD file). Biopython 1.63 will warn if they are missing but attempt to download them automatically.
We're looking at dropping all the NCBI Entrez related DTD files, since the next Biopython release (v1.64) will automatically download AND cache them - see recent discussion, e.g. http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/biopython-dev/2014-March/011205.html We haven't actually removed the files on GitHub yet, but this might be an incentive to do so.
