The authors of docbook-xsl chose to only use a subset for performance
reasons. I don't think there is a chance to change this default. But I
will talk to Michael Smith and ask for his opinion.
I also don't want to change this for Debian only (just want to stay as
close to upstream as possible). But I would vote for a debhelper script
that takes care of XML and SGML sources. Unfortunately extending
dh_installman would mean to add dependencies on xsltproc and docbook-xsl
and this is AFAIK not wanted. So perhaps a simple small package (like
xml-core) that offers this functionality and depends on xsltproc and
docbook-xsl (+ a variant for SGML sources) would make sense. The
upcoming xmlto package also sets this parameter. So you can also use
xmlto (>= 0.0.20).
