Yeah, that's the same as #851650.  My fix was to move the xsl stack from
Build-Depends-Indep to Build-Depends, as man pages are included in non-indep
packages as well.

No one likes breakage in stable, but NMUing an essential package in stable
is not something to take lightly.  I guess Evgeni, who did the last NMU,
might know more.
