I'm running Sid. It might be that in stable the /usr/bin/fop script does
not make use of /usr/lib/java-wrappers/java-wrappers.sh, which provides
the find_jars() function or that the function was renamed in
Squeeze/Sid.

In Sid it works via find_jars in .foprc.

Well, this also doesn't work on Sid, where it dies with "network
down"-like messages. However, the issue might simply be, that by using
the docbook-xsl stylesheet directly with fop it misses to set
fop1.extensions. One could write a minimal stylesheet, that imports
docbook.xsl and sets fop1.extensions. But I don't know, if this will
help you. Looks like the issue is somehow caused by libjeuclid-fop-java.
