I added a check for this. Please update sugar-jhbuild (git pull) and see
if it works. You should get the following when trying to start a build:

[marco at localhost sugar-jhbuild]$ ./sugar-jhbuild build
Checking dependencies...
Missing external dependencies:
docbook-style-xsl

This is also the name of the package to install in Fedora, not sure
what's the equivalent on Ubuntu. Install that package and you should be
fine.

Thanks!
