Putting my Debian maintainer hat on: 1.76.1 hit Sid.
If you have any further questions: I'm maintaining the docbook-xsl* packages
for Debian and Ubuntu just "snycs" them.

There is nothing tricky. The docbook-xsl(-ns) package does not contain any
binary code nor does it have strange dependencies. xml-core can be installed
from Ubuntu and the docbook-xsl(-ns) binary can simply be grabbed and installed:

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/docbook-xsl/docbook-xsl_1.76.1+dfsg-1_all.deb
dpkg -i docbook-xsl_1.76.1+dfsg-1_all.deb

if you cannot wait until it has been synced from Debian. There is absolutely no
need to add any Debian sources to an Ubuntu sources.list.
