Yes, that's what I made the package from.

Is that OK with Debian? I believe it should be in 
/usr/lib/sgml/stylesheet/<packagename>

This is a little problem I came across. The upstream script is actually 
db2html. I didn't want my package to overwrite cygnus-stylesheet's 
db2html, so I made it gnome-db2html. It is in fact different because 
cygnus-stylesheets/db2html by default uses the default DocBook DTD and 
cygnus' stylesheets while gnome-doc-tools/db2html uses the GNOME PNG 
DocBook DTD and Gnome's own stylesheets.
