[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#795842: dbtoepub: epubcheck report lots of errors from epub generated by dbtoepub

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: dbtoepub
Version: 0+svn9150-2

When using dbtoepub to generate a epub version of the Free Culture book,
the output from epubcheck report many problems with the resulting file.
The docbook source for the book can be found via
<URL: https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/ >

Here are some examples from the epubcheck output:

Why do dbtoepub and epubcheck not agree on what a epub file should look
like?

I tested using dbtoepub version 0+svn9904-1 and this too causes
epubcheck to report lots of errors.
