You do not need to install eDE in order to get DocBook on Ubuntu.
Just install the components you need.

sudo apt-get install docbook
sudo apt-get install docbook-xsl
sudo apt-get install xsltproc

That is the basic stuff you need. 

If you need Java tools.

Add the following to your sources.list
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

## Backports
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-backports main universe 
multiverse restricted
deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe 
multiverse restricted

Save.
sudo apt-get  update
sudo apt-get install sun j2re1.5
java -version

Now you can install Java XML tools as described by Bob Stayton in Docbook XSL 
the complete guide.

I seriously recommend you buy a copy.
