That is a good catch; thanks!

Debian too seems to have both (and both are installed on my system, not
sure if that's the default): packages are docbook-xsl and
docbook-xsl-ns.

So based on the above, the correct path to give to configure's
--with-docbook-stylesheets option on Debian would be

  /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl-ns

To test it all, I just did a fresh build starting from git pull and
everything worked great, except for building kawa.pdf.

The 'make' also built kawa-manual.epub by default, which I'm guessing is
a side effect of using the --with-docbook-stylesheets option, as I don't
recall that happening on my earlier builds.  I was also able to build
the "fancy" and "plain" HTML docs properly.

The only minor problem seems to be building kawa.pdf, which is likely
something outdated on my system. I did use a newish version of texinfo
(6.3) since I know that's needed by Kawa.  Not sure if it's worth
chasing, but I'm including the error from 'make kawa.pdf' (in the doc
subdirectory) below for reference.
