[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#644523: dbtoepub: please allow stdin as a valid source

[brian m. carlson]

Package: dbtoepub
Version: 0+svn8910-1
Severity: wishlist

I have a DocBook 5 file that contains some items which will be profiled
out, so I need to run xsltproc on it before I pass it to dbtoepub.  The
easiest way to do this within the makefile I use is simply to pipe it
from xsltproc to dbtoepub.  However, dbtoepub does not allow "-" or
"/dev/stdin" as a valid source.

It would be very nice if using /dev/stdin were to work, along with at
least /dev/fd/*.
