There is an example in /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/examples/ based on the
large example of the Man-page howto and extended to show some more
features, docbook and docbook-xsl provide. I normally update this
example if there are really interesting changes (I normally follow
upstream changes). ATM these changes are only mentioned in the Debian
changelog (Bug #310895 and #386580 are fixed). I will update the example
for the next package version (for the moment it will wait in NEW,
because I split the documentation). Where would you expect a
mail-version?
BTW: There are also open bug-reports for dh-make to update the manpage
template for dh-make
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383495).
If you want to see some large examples, you can check aptitude or my own
fglrx man-pages (there I make heavy use of the possibilities, docbook
and docbook-xsl provide). IMO I included almost everything I used in
these man-pages also in the example.
But as I said: If the example misses something or if you want to see
something special there, just drop me a hint.
Regards, Daniel
