I know it creates EPUB from my debian-reference experiment.

I also checked now with Kobo.  It is readable than PDF but everything is
propotional font which breaks some ASCII art.  Bold and Italics work.
(This seems to be platform problem.  Maybe, by installing mono font, it
is fixed.)

But it does not do "META-INF/container.xml nor content.opf nor toc.ncx"
as I understand.  These seem to be for compatibility with old equipment
but xmlto support.  These seem to exist in many publisged EPUBs.  Do you
know exact reason why these exist?

If you add dbtoepub, we create Ruby dependency plus package install.  If
you figure out to add function to xmlto, then it is easier since this is
shell script.  Just because you can build locally is not good enough for
Debian server ...  Let's go slow a step by step.

Since xmlto is R-H standard tool, it is more used etc., I am looking
solution along this.  Can you?
