You can find the implementation for debhelper attached. It basically
consists of adding an autotrigger invocation and bumps the sgml-base
version.
In addition I am removing the transition script as it is now part of
both wheezy and jessie. Did we ever support skipping two releases?
This is a request for review and should not be included in debhelper
before the relevant sgml-base changes have been uploaded.
