My solution was to add a Build-Depends on docbook, I didn't realize that 
docbook-dssl had a docbook|docbook-xml dependency.  Since it failed without 
docbook installed and I did have the build dependencies satisfied, I must 
have had docbook-xml installed.  

I dealt with this on Oct 27 apparently based on my log files, and am just 
following up on changes and fixes I have made while rebuilding Lenny 
packages, so I may be missing some of the details.

I should note that this was on an armel build, although I don't think that 
should make a difference in this case.
