dblatex is broken too. I have it on my Ubuntu 7.10 system and it is no
save for us as well, unfortunately. When I tried to use it, it broke
more of our code as it lacks couple of templates we use and which were
in the original db2latex like generate.hyperlink, set of fasttext
processing templates, and latex mapping tables.

See http://samba.org/~ab/Samba3-ByExample.pdf as sample output of my
hacking of db2latex. It has couple of unprocessed references but these
are because sometimes you have to run pdflatex more than three times and
our Makefile has no simple way to check that. Other than that I see good
output.
