There are some known issues for section titles with debiandoc-sgml when
some tags are used.

I should have duped Bug#562325 when closing it for maint-guide.
The bug and stop-gap resolution is summarized as follows:
http://bugs.debian.org/562325#30 (Bug summary)
\NoAutoSpaceBeforeFDP is the cause.
http://bugs.debian.org/562325#35 (stop gap resolution)
Basically, do not use tags in French. (Sorry!)

Not all of DDP are packaged. I think maint-guide and debian-faq,
harden-doc and few other package documentation are the casualities.
(I have moved debian-reference to xml except for some translations which
will be removed in wheezy.)
