That sounds OK to me.  I will at least name the directory
consistent with the package name.  It is not very likely, that
other people will ever build another set of useful CSS, but
better stay on the save side.

As I wrote in the other mail: db sounds like data base :-(

Yes, better be picky now and discuss things thrice, as having to
fix packages already installed on millions of machines.  Or
having to live with some sub-optimal settings that have could be
avoided by two emails.

For the package name, I have now decided to call it DeCSS
(Docbook enhanced CSS) :-)  No, better not.
