Yes, this is what docbook-xsl maintainer recommends:

$ zcat /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/NEWS.Debian.gz | grep '1.74.3+dfsg-1' -A 9
docbook-xsl (1.74.3+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

  IMPORTANT: The stylesheets have been moved from
  /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/ to
  /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/. The old directory is a
  symlink to the new location for compatibility reasons. Note, that I plan to
  drop the old location /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/ in the
  future. So plese adjust the path in your scripts, XML documents, ... or
  better: use the WWW resource URI and the catalog system.
