Try "sgml-tools -j '-V %generate-book-toc%' your-sgml-file"

Please check file:///usr/doc/docbook-stylesheets-doc/html/r22.htm
in your Debian system with some web browser.

I have checked "sgml-tools -j '-V %generate-article-toc%' docbook-article"
and it did generate TOC automatically. Maybe %generate-book-toc% will work too.
