There is an example in /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/examples/ based on the large example of the Man-page howto and extended to show some more features, docbook and docbook-xsl provide. I normally update this example if there are really interesting changes (I normally follow upstream changes). ATM these changes are only mentioned in the Debian changelog (Bug #310895 and #386580 are fixed). I will update the example for the next package version (for the moment it will wait in NEW, because I split the documentation). Where would you expect a mail-version? BTW: There are also open bug-reports for dh-make to update the manpage template for dh-make (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=383495). If you want to see some large examples, you can check aptitude or my own fglrx man-pages (there I make heavy use of the possibilities, docbook and docbook-xsl provide). IMO I included almost everything I used in these man-pages also in the example. But as I said: If the example misses something or if you want to see something special there, just drop me a hint.
