+Subject: catalog.xml: Compatibility with 1.79.1 or earlier
+
+The docbook-xsl project changed the canonical URI since 1.79.2.
+Besides changes made in debian/*.xmlcatalogs files, this patch
+completes the support of the old URI so that existing software
+does not break with changed registered URI.
