I just tried to build a couple READMEs in modules and both files with
docbook 4.2 and 4.4 seem to build fine on Debian with docbook-xsl
package installed.

If I uninstall the package then the build system fetches the XSL
stylesheets from the net.

Olle, if you have the XSL stylesheets in a non-standard location then
modify the file docbook/catalog.xml so that the build system can find
them. There is a small example (commented out) which points to a
directory in my home directory.

If you are no debian then just install package debian-xsl.
