Subject: please consider catalog design change
X-Reportbug-Version: 1.14

Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: sgml-base
Version: 1.07
Severity: wishlist

Please consider changing the way the sgml catalog is handled to be
more like what menu, modutils, the MIME system, the GNOME menu system,
doc-base and almost all other subsystems do: use a directory in which
special files are installed with catalog information, and make
update-sgml-catalog a script that scans that directory and builds the
system catalog. That is a much more robust setup and makes sgml
more consistent with the rest of Debian.

Wichert.
