On Debian:
$> apt-cache search docbook utils
docbook-utils - Convert Docbook files to other formats (HTML, RTF, PS,
man, PDF)
docbook-xml - standard XML documentation system, for software and systems
gnome-doc-utils - a collection of documentation utilities for the GNOME
project
kdeutils-doc-html - KDE utilities documentation in HTML format

And, description of docbook-utils:
Description: Convert Docbook files to other formats (HTML, RTF, PS, man,
PDF)
 The docbook-utils is a set of a few small programs intended to ease
 everyday use of technical documentation software and more generally use of
 SGML and XML.
 .
 Tasks they currently accomplish are:
  * jw: convert Docbook files to other formats (HTML, RTF, Postscript, PDF).
  * sgmldiff: detect the differences in markup between two SGML files.
  * docbook2man: converts a DocBook refentry to a man page.
Tag: implemented-in::perl, interface::commandline, role::program,
scope::utility, use::{converting,editing,text-formatting},
works-with::text, works-with-format::{docbook,html,man,pdf,postscript}
