Severity: serious

Justification: ftbfs
Dear Maintainer,
During a test build, I noticed that publican failed it's test
suite at build time. Relevant part of the test log looks like:
# Failed test 'build a DB5 book'
# at t/310.DB5Builder.t line 28.
# Note: namesp. cut : stripped namespace before processing
Test DB5 Book
# runtime error: file

I'm tempted to think there is something off here, but I may be
misled:

I'm not sure what could have changed, neither publican nor
docbook-xsl have seen upload since trixie release.
In hope this helps,
