By some odd coincidence I was just playing with the doc generation
system today, thinking it would be nice to update to something newer,
and I encountered this exact problem and was getting ready to merge
your exact proposed change.

It's looking for the DB2LaTeX XSL style sheets, available at
http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/.

Debian doesn't package these, I don't know why not. (I'm pretty
sure there used to be a db2latex-xsl package that included them, but
it's gone now.)  Extracting the tarball into /usr/local/share/db2latex
seems to get the job done though.
