Rafael, you were right the first time, the bug belongs to docbook-utils
because it is concerned with docbook2ps which is not part of docbook2X
package.

where would a debian user know to use docbook2x-texi and docbook2x-man?
this is what my manual pages says for docbook2X:

docbook2X(1)                                              docbook2X(1)

NAME
       docbook2man,  docbook2texi  - Convert DocBook XML to man pages and
Tex-
       info

SYNOPSIS
       docbook2man [options] {xml-document}

       docbook2texi [options] {xml-document}

...

that's the bug I think should be submitted.
