I kind of agree with you, which is why I plan for it to be an
extremely slow phase-out of the old names.
I guess that as long as we find packages in remote places that still
directly invoke db2html we will continue to carry the old script
names.
I am now beginning to work on automake support for docbook, which
would make things a lot easier.
