I use Ant to manage build process. I have separate target for Kindle
which applies this fixing transformation on output of DocBook
stylesheets before ziping final epub file. Something like:

  <target name="kindle">
    ... call normal DocBook epub stylesheet ..

    <!-- Make fixes for Kindle in generated XHTML -->
    <xslt style="kindleize.xsl" force="true" basedir="${out.dir}"
includes="*.xhtml" destdir="${out.dir}/kindle">
      <factory name="net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl"/>
      <classpath location="${saxon9.jar}"/>
    </xslt>

    <!-- Replace original XHTML files with "kindleized" ones -->
    <copy todir="${out.dir}">
      <fileset dir="${out.dir}/kindle"/>
      <globmapper from="*.html" to="*.xhtml"/>
    </copy>

    <!-- Delete temporary "kindleized" files -->
    <delete dir="${out.dir}/kindle"/>

    <!-- Build final epub package -->
    <zip destfile="${out}-kindle.epub"
	 basedir="ebook"
	 includes="mimetype"
	 compress="false"
	 />
    <zip destfile="${out}-kindle.epub"
	 basedir="ebook"
	 excludes="mimetype"
	 update="true"
	 compress="true"
	 keepcompression="true"
	 />

  </target>
