If ArchLinux doesn't provide the 4.2 DTD, you ought to complain to
whoever packages that. On my Fedora 16 box, for example, a wide range
of docbook versions is supported:
$ ls /etc/sgml
catalog sgml-docbook-4.4.cat
docbook/ sgml-docbook-4.5.cat
docbook-simple.cat sgml-docbook.cat@
docbook-slides.cat sgml.conf
openjade-1.3.2-38.fc16.soc xhtml1-dtds-1.0-20020801.6.soc
openjade.soc@ xhtml1-dtds.soc@
sgml-docbook-3.0.cat xml-docbook-4.1.2.cat
sgml-docbook-3.1.cat xml-docbook-4.2.cat
sgml-docbook-4.0.cat xml-docbook-4.3.cat
sgml-docbook-4.1.cat xml-docbook-4.4.cat
sgml-docbook-4.2.cat xml-docbook-4.5.cat
sgml-docbook-4.3.cat xml-docbook.cat@
I don't believe there is any expectation that documents will get
updated just because there is a new docbook version.
Now having said that, you could certainly try adjusting the
DOCTYPE declaration in the docs and seeing if they'd build with 4.5.
But it's not something the project is likely to worry about soon.
