A quick search yields:

	https://github.com/HolgerPeters/sphinxcontrib-docbook

which appears to provide docbook output for sphinx, but I haven't tested

Of course, docbook is just a means to an end -- the question should
probably be what final output formats are actually required and whether
the tools generate those in a reasonable fashion.
