The default value for %use-id-as-filename% is false.  Turn it back on
if you like, in a custom stylesheet.

The collateindex perl script comes from docbook-dsssl.  I filed a bug
report at sourceforge.net, with a patch, that fixed some problems with
it.

However this looks more like a mismatch between the docbook-style-dsssl
and docbook-utils packages.  Are they the ones that came with Red Hat
Linux 7.3?

Is there a test case here that I can try?
