I don't understand your problem clearly.

Previously when using DocBook, there is a "common" containing the common
part of documents.
The old "user-guide" and "user-guide-admin" have dependencies to "common".
Now it changed to RST format.
The common contents are not in a separate "common" folder, but in the
document folder itself.
What's the problem do you meet with?

I think "common" is going to be deprecated in the future.
Am I right?
