Comment (by lnicola):

 After some investigation, it seems that XeTeX is unmaintained these days
 (its previous maintainer has moved on to LuaTeX), and non-Latin support in
 pdfTeX is very painful, if not wholly unachievable.

 I was able to get a somewhat usable Japanese PDF by dumping the TeX source
 and editing it to remove this:


 {{{
 \IfFileExists{ifxetex.sty}{%
     \usepackage{ifxetex}%
   }{%
     \newif\ifxetex
     \xetexfalse
   }
   \ifxetex
 \usepackage{fontspec}
 \usepackage{xltxtra}
 \defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
 \setmainfont{DejaVu Serif}
 \setsansfont{DejaVu Sans}
 \setmonofont{DejaVu Sans Mono}
 \else
 \usepackage[T2A,T2D,T1]{fontenc}
 \usepackage{ucs}
 \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
 \def\hyperparamadd{unicode=true}
 \fi
 }}}

 and replace it with this:


 {{{
 \usepackage{luatexja}
 \setlength{\headheight}{12.06757pt}
 }}}

 Increasing the headheight isn't strictly necessary, but I was getting
 thousands of warnings about it.

 luatexja supports Noto Sans CJK and related fonts, but the output looked
 rather bad, especially the code listings. I ended up using the default
 font, available as texlive-haranoaji on my distro.

 Note that the dblatex style tries to load some fonts of its own when not
 using XeTeX. This may or may not cause issues. I originally commented them
 out in /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/dblatex/dbk_fonts.sty, but
 it might work with luatexja.

 Replacing utf8x with utf8 in \lstset{inputencoding=utf8x,
 extendedchars=true} might also be a good idea, but I didn't test it.

 I'm attaching a couple of versions, for anyone who's curious.
