I haven't had to do any of that, and I don't get any errors.  Since the only
occurrence I have of a file named ref-element.html is in the package
docbook-defguide, and I usually use "aptitude" to install - which by
default installs all "Recommends" packages, and docbook-defguide is
recommended by quanta, I would suspect that's all you need.

If you have other errors, you might try installing any or all of cervisia,
gnupg, kompare, and kxsldbg, which are all also recommended.

So I'd say it's intentional, though it could probably have been cleaner.
