That's not the problem, it won't build anyway. There are still quite a
lot of serious problems with xmltex, passivetex and the related tools on
Debian. There are quite some bugs filed against the relevant packages,
some of which got "closed" recently but which aren't fixed at all. I'd
report them again but I don't really know which are the faulty packages.
BTW, the '—' error is probably outputted by xmllint, not by
xsltproc because it is called with the wrong options. (Yes, I filed a
bug report against that and it got closed without fixing).
