The path to the DTD in the debian package is wrong. Marking as invalid for sync as a result, we'll sync it when it's really fixed in debian

We probably want to sync with 2.0.9-4.1 which fixes the DTD path, together with two other issues:

syslog-ng (2.0.9-4.1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Non-maintainer upload; high priority due to the following security fix.
  * Add chdir() before chroot(), and exit if either fails. (Closes: #505791)
  * Fix typo in postrm. (Closes: #505797)
  * Fix path to DocBook XML DTD. (Closes: #477223)

All of the Ubuntu delta was merged in Debian so it can be dropped:
* doc/reference/syslog-ng.xml: Fix reference to docbookx.dtd
* debian/control: Build-Depend on docbook-xml
* doc/reference/README.syslog-ng-anon: Add missing last sample and link to sample config file
* debian/syslog-ng.init: Fix syslog-ng new path
In particular 2.0.9-4.1 fixes the DTD path that was incorrectly merged in 2.0.9-4.

Changelog since current jaunty version 2.0.9-3ubuntu1:
