On my RH 8 box I didn't find that file, but did find the setting in
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets/print/dbparam.dsl and changed
it to "A4" (was "USletter"). Unfortunately that didn't seem to make any
difference -- the pdfs built were still USletter.

There is probably a more preferred method, but I then modified
doc/src/sgml/stylesheet.dsl directly, adding
   (define %paper-type% "A4")
and that seemed to work. The resulting pdfs are available here:

Let me know how they look.

HTH,
