Package: w3c-dtd-xhtml
Version: w3c-dtd-xhtml and w3c-sgml-lib
Severity: serious
I am opening this bug as serious. I believe we can aim at next release to get
this issue sorted out.
I am pasting the discussion here:
...
No you can't remove w3c-dtd-xhtml. Many , many more people depend on it
currently than w3c-sgml-lib. Look at the popcorn ratings.
That said they are totally trying to do the same thing. They even - check the
copyroght file - have the same upstream. The difference is that w3c-sgml-lib
has a working watch file and leaves the upstream largely untouched, whereas
w3c-dtd-xhtml is just a random jumble of files vaguely associated with the W3C.
I have tried twice to make w3c-sgml-lib a drop in replacement for w3c-dtd-xhtml
and failed. As I see it the only way forward is to make the reverse
dependencies of w3c-dtd-xhtml depend instead on w3c-sgml-lib. Then
w3c-dtd-xhtml can be dropped. There is no way that should be attempted this
side of the freeze.
However if the point of w3c-sgml-lib is that it can be easily kept uptodate,
the irony is that at the moment I cannot because of #665296. That bug looks
trviial to fix, but quite frankly I am exhausted at the moment.
...

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=283173#33
and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=355440#42
Now that #665296 is closed we can remove this package (hopefully).
Thanks
