Facts:

  -The xsl-stylesheets-current symlink is used only to copy the images.

  -The actual DoocBook-XSL required version is hardcoded inside the
    LFS stylesheets

  -To can render the book, the user need must be installed the required
   DocBook-XSL version

  -To create custom XSL that depend on a "current" version is a bad habit
   and never should to happen.

  -In the Makefile the xsl-stylesheets-current was added as a
   convenience symlink to avoid to edit the Makefile each time a new
   DocBook-XSL version is released, that was something frequent at that
   times.

  -Is most likely that there will be no more new DocBook-XSL versions for
   DocBook-xml-4.x (except if DocBook-XML-4.5 is released some day) due that
   all the upstream work is centered in the new XSL-2.0-based stylesheets for
   DocBook-5, that is RelaxNG+Schematron based.
   
Then, I agree with you and that xsl-stylesheets-current symlink should be 
removed at all, both in the book's Makefile and in the BLFS instructions for 
DocBook-XSL.
