I've taken on the build-strangeness of Amanda and I *think* I'm in the clear 
for a lot of later version of Linux... given some changes.     I tried yours on 
my Jesse VM (with my changes) and they seem okay.

Here in Jesse I have docbook-xsl  1.78.  The docbook-xml is 4.5 and I think 
that's a different tool in this case.

My changes are in a pull-request right now.   Can you post the fail for your 
configure?
