The command used is

dblatex --style=db2latex \
    --xslt-opts=--nonet --no-external \
    --xsl-user=hyphenation.xsl \
    --param=draft.mode=$(draftmode) \
    --param=format=a4 \
    --param=glossterm.auto.link=1 \
    --param=latex.encoding=utf8 \
    --param=latex.unicode.use=1 \
    --param=lingua=$(LINGUA) \
    --param=monoseq.hyphenation=nohyphen
