	I agree. I think that with the doc bug solved, lifelines
probably will compile twice in a row smoothly.

	Thanks. I used your example to report the bug in Debian. :-)

	Done. I did a small mistake reporting it against the wrong package
(openjade instead of docbook-utils) but I already asked for the
reassignment (and it already worked). #426967

	Ok, that pretty much solves all our pending issues. I need
to check the ll-devguide.xml to see if it compiles ok, I will keep
the local debian patch for the '\ #' until we got an answer from
the docbook-utils maintainers.


	Are you planning another release? Or may I package 3.0.59?
