Intermediate summary of using dblatex files installed in parallel:

- Python: Use environment variable PYTHONPATH.

- TeX: Ivan's suggestion works, thus after patching Debian dblatex to
       omit the superfluous manipulation of TEXINPUTS, use environment
       variable TEXINPUTS.

- XSLT: As no environment variable is used here, dblatex would have to
        be modified upstream.  BenoƮt, are you willing to enhance
        dblatex accordingly?
