Looking back at the bug report, it seems I forgot to mention something
important: I was able to reproduce this in a pbuilder chroot installing
from the official archive, but manually installing the build dependencies
in such a way that docbook wasn't pulled in, then unplugging the network
cable and running the build.  If it's possible to satisfy the Build-Depends
but have the build fail, that's still a serious bug, whether or not it
happens with the default way pbuilder and/or sbuild satisfies the
Build-Depends.
