Thanks for this information. Now this result is some kind of surprising.
The prerm script of the docbook-xml Etch package should remove those
entries. Indeed it says:

> update-xmlcatalog --del --type system --id "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1" --package docbook-xml || true
> update-xmlcatalog --del --type system --id "http://docbook.org/xml/4.1" --package docbook-xml || true
> update-xmlcatalog --del --type public --id "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1//EN" --package docbook-xml || true

Now all I can imagine is, that the removal fails. But in this case, the
script will not error out, because of the '|| true' expression. So if
you have the time, you could do me a favour and edit the prerm script of
the Etch package of docbook-xml and remove the '|| true' expressions and
run the script or try to upgrade the packages. Alternatively you may
also do this for the package installed and simply try to remove/purge
it. Maybe this will throw some error (if I'm right with my guess) and
maybe there is just a problem with Perl 5.10 and update-xmlcatalog
trying to remove the entities.

Unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the problem on my i386 system (I
even checked one of my productive systems). They all run an upgrade
without any problems. So I can just ask you to edit the files and send
me the results. I'm really sorry.
