Bug Description

Please backport yelp-xsl 3.12.0-1 from 14.10 to 14.04

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.

* trusty:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] yelp-xsl installs cleanly and runs

Test build kindly provided by Gunnar Hjalmarsson and available at:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

No reverse dependencies

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.gnome.org/yelp-xsl a year ago. We do not use the added .css file entries (we didn't even know about them)

Note 2: There are probably other use cases for these tools, but I wouldn't know what they are or how to test them.

I'm pretty sure this is not correct. Nor can I figure out how to run requestbackport from a server with no GUI. It just ends up with jibberish on the screen, similar to when trying to run apport stuff on a server. Nor can I figure out how to get requestbackport to just put the information into a file so that I can then edit it into this bug report.

I made an Ubuntu Desktop virtual machine and submitted new backport requests using it.
I will close these ones shortly. Sorry for the mess.
