You have several frontend tools available (mostly docbook-utils and
sgml2x), which should pull in all the necessary tools. Use one of the
interactive package-selection tools (aptitude, dselect, synaptic ...),
or "apt-cache show" to check for optional packages.
When using DSSSL stylesheets, you will have a choice for the
processor: you should prefer "openjade1.3" to "jade" and "openjade"
packages.
"apt-cache search docbook" will list all docbook-related packages.

Normally you don't have to mess with them, the packages are built so
that tools work out of the box.

docbook-dsssl and docbook-xsl are the standard alternatives. There is
an hopefully nice customisation of (print version of) docbook-dsssl in
the alcovebook-sgml package, which is taken as the prefered one if you
install alcovebook-sgml and sgml2x, and process your document with
eg. "docbook-2-pdf mydoc.xml".
