We don't actually have a Saxon version in our svn -- the only
thing we have are source files for the DocBook XSL Java
extensions, which is what the jar files in docbook-xsl are built
from. Users need to separately install Saxon (for example, Debian
users need to install libsaxon-java) in order to use Saxon.

If you can, please forward or Cc me on any correspondence you have
with them about the DocBook XSL Java extensions. Putting together
a upstream package of just the extensions separate from the
stylesheets should not be too much work, but I want to make sure
it'll meet whatever the Java packaging policy guidelines Debian
and other distros may have.
