Of those 13 books, 12 had conventional chapters anyway, and only 1 (Small Gods) had no chapters but still distributed across two xhtml (presumably for size).
I don't doubt you've seen differently formatted Discworld ebook releases, but unfortunately the ones I picked up from a recent HumbleBundle (published by HarperCollins) do suffer from this.
What do you mean by section break?
I did try patrik's suggestion and it seems to be sound advice. The concern about creating many xhtml files is unfounded, I think, since the feature explicitly splits by configurable file size (with a suggested 260KB).
Annoyingly this is not an option in the kepub output, so I'd be doing two conversion passes and I'd rather do none. I fear automatically applying sweeping changes, when I'd rather just fix the issue in front of me.
Thanks!

It seems newer version of Discworld eBooks have been changed.
Section breaks help to organize your story when changes such as the following occur:
- a switch to a different point of view
- the passage of time
- movement to another location
A section break in Discworld eBooks is shown as a blank space.
