There's dblatex which can do Docbook -> LaTeX -> PDF. I believe that
dblatex can fullfill al the requirements of Publican even support for
non-Latin languages provided that we use the right options and LaTeX
implementation (i.e. xetex instead of the default pdftex).

At some point I might find the time required to add a dblatex backend
in Publican... the upstream author of dblatex is also very supportive
in case we have specific requirements.
