It seems that the list of what's required should be documented.  I added
the docbook style sheets package on my system, but that doesn't seem to
be enough.  It seems like a good first step is to call xsltproc with
--no-net, and then deal with the errors.  (It seems broken of xsltproc
that --no-net isn't the default, but that's another issue.)
