debian/control:
- Need to document the change below in the debian/changelog:
-      - /usr/share/xml/{declaration,entities,misc,schema}
-      - /usr/local/share/xml/{declaration,entities,misc,schema}
+      - /usr/share/xml/{declaration, entities, misc, schema}
+      - /usr/local/share/xml/{declaration, entities, misc, schema}

debian/xml-core.postrm:
- Undo your changes. The dir /etc/xml is used by other packages, so it cannot
be removed. More info on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=990191#25

tools/update-xmlcatalog:
- You used the patch [1]. How about the duplicated lines that Étienne warned?
