Since many are using non-Debian distributions, and some stuff doesn't  
contain the dependency mechanism Debian provides, it might still be a  
good idea to list it, unless it's a "hard dependency" (i.e. docbooc-xml  
cannot be installed at all without sgml-data package being installed on  
every system).

With XML and SGML packages, this is rarely the case (if they contain  
just the DTD's, stylesheets and entity collections, installation can be  
performed using "cp * /path/to/install/dir"), so I guess it's better to  
add it to the list.

Any thoughts?
