[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#420153: docbook2x: line breaks mess up man page file names

Package: docbook2x
Version: 0.8.8-2
Severity: normal

This broke between 0.8.8-1 and -2 and is still broken in -3.

The slony package contains several man pages affected by this problem.
For example:

  <refentry id="stmtmergeset"><refmeta><refentrytitle>MERGE
     SET</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></refmeta>

In -1, this correctly created a man page file name "MERGE_SET.7".  In -2,
this creates "MERGE _____SET.7".  I think this is both useless and in
violation of SGML whitespacing rules, so it probably ought to be reverted.
