Dear Josh and Daniel, I updated the patch to sort only when the "--sort" switch is used (BTW, I didn't know how to name the switch, like "--sort", "--sort-catalog", or something else, so tell me if this choice does not seem correct to you).
The switch will be used by default while adding catalogs in the dh_installxmlcatalogs debhelper script but not while deleting catalogs (didn't seem proper to me, but if it should be, tell me it's just a tiny line to add). I updated the documentation part that generates the update-xmlcatalog man page (also adding the --verbose that were forgotten) and in the help message of this script. Note that in the manpage I also added added a tip: "To sort a catalog without adding or removing an item, just add an already existing item to the catalog." Finally I think the diff stays quite thin. If you have any comment, feel free to tell me. I'll update the svn tonight or this week-end when I have the time to (and no firewall blocking ssh!). Thanks for your patience. Regards, Joseph
