Checked, ``\maketitle`` doesn't respect an immediately following
``\nopagebreak``.  But I found what we want:

          \begin{titlepage}
           text
          \end{titlepage}

       The `titlepage' environment creates a title page, i.e.  a page
    with no printed page number or heading.  It also causes the
    following page to be numbered page one.  Formatting the title page
    is left to you.  The `\today' command comes in handy for title
    pages.

       Note that you can use the `\maketitle' (*note \maketitle::.)
    command to produce a standard title page.

    -- info latex --index titlepage

I believe the only sensible way is to make our own titlepage with it.
For document classes other than report and book, the `titlepage` env
should be omitted and the same(?) output should be generated on the
same page (are there other differences between the styles?).  I'll now
try to look at the latex sources for the default title pages...
