Hi Chris,
Regarrding your first question, you can set the stylesheet param named
'generate.toc' to empty to turn off the TOC chunk. You will still get
the NCX toc.
I noticed the same issue with customizing the epub 2 stylesheet. If
your customization consists only of parameter settings, then importing
it should work. However, it is a chunking stylesheet, so any template
changes require paying careful attention to import precedence for them
to work. Generally that requires two separate customization files,
but the epub/docbook.xsl needs to be rearranged for that to work.
Based on the experience I gained from creating the epub 3 stylesheet,
I plan to rearrange the files in the epub directory for EPUB 2 output
to make it easier to customize.

Since the toc is never needed (the ncx supplants a toc), would it make sense
to delete the call to generate it such that annoyance is removed?

*Subject:* [docbook-apps] Removing HTML TOC from epub
Epubs have a table of contents used by readers (toc.ncx?) which
makes the generated HTML table of contents rather superfluous. How
does one prevent its generation in 1.76.1?
Actually a rather more general question is how (or what's best
practice) to customize the epub stylesheets. The shipped
epub/docbook.xsl doesn't really seem amenable to being customized
by an importing stylesheet. The FO stylesheets are significantly
more flexible in this regard.
Or should I be editing a copy of epub/docbook.xsl and customizing
it that way? There's a lot of logic in that stylesheet that I
really don't want to copy and try and keep in sync with the
shipping file.
Cheers,
Chris
