Bug Description
Please backport yelp-xsl 3.12.0-1 (main) from utopic to trusty.
Reason for the backport:
=======
For many many months prior to the initial release of 14.04 (Trusty) we, the Ubuntu Doc Team, had been working on issues with the official documentation and the related higher level tools. Some solutions and workarounds had been able to be implemented in the documentation, other fixes required changes to yelp-xsl (and yelp-tools). In some cases the solutions are interdependent, meaning changes to the documentation requires the newer version of the tools and style sheets to result in the correct rendering for display or compiling into html.
A bug report was submitted requesting that Ubuntu release 14.04 have at least yelp-xsl version 3.11.5. That never happened.
O.K. so now we are requesting a backport, as server type people tend to stay with LTS releases we need to be able to have people build the documents on 14.04 servers.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
Test build kindly provided by Gunnar Hjalmarsson and available at:

Note 1: I tested building the serverguide and desktop help, and examined every difference. There are additional .css file entries, as things evolved since my builds of the tools directly from git://git.
Note 2: There are probably other use cases for these tools, but I wouldn't know what they are or how to test them.

Apparently it is up to me to do the testing such that each check box is dealt with.
There isn't a package called "libgda5", so what to do for that line seems unclear. There are many packages listed if the search term is shortened to "libgda", but even then it remains unclear what is the correct one.
O.K. so trying "yelp" instead. Using these references:

doesn't seem to work, so try just getting the bzr branch instead.
Oddly (or perhaps not, why would anything be consistent), while I'm used to (for example):
bzr push lp:serverguide/precise
it seems the order is different for yelp:
bzr branch lp:ubuntu/trusty/yelp
which I find bizarre (pun intended).
However, then autogen.sh complains that I don't have a package called gtk-doc. O.K. simple enough, however, there isn't a package called gtk-doc. O.K. I'm not sure how, but I guess I am expected to figure out that it really means gtk-doc-tools.
And now autogen.sh complains about:
configure.ac:24: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
And I give up.
