Hi Benoît,
I want to inform you about Debian BTS report #686827 [1] for dblatex,
calling the handling of attribute beginpage@pagenum into question (for
details see [1]):

According to my understanding dblatex interprets the attribute as a
requirement regarding the page number of the following page, thus
dblatex ignores the whole element because this functionality is not
supported. However the submitter uses the attribute as a mere comment
refering to an "original document".
What about emiting the message 'Cannot start a new page at a specific
page number' as a warning and just falling back to a simple page break
in such a case?
