Hello,

the sgml* scripts are for linuxdoc only, IIRC. The correct way to compile
docbook sources are laid down in /usr/doc/docbook-stylesheets/README.Debian.

for html:

 jade -t sgml -d  /usr/lib/dsssl/stylesheets/docbook/html/docbook.dsl test.sgml 

for Tex:

 jade -t tex -d /usr/lib/dsssl/stylesheets/docbook/print/docbook.dsl test.sgml

Of course, you need jade, jadetex, sp, docbook, docbook-stylesheets and some
other things installed.

I'm currently investigating the db2* scripts from RH if they are usefl for
Debian, too. You can find them at master.debian.org/~brinkmd/.
