Note that it is not acceptable for a package in main to rely on something
that is not in main. When building something for main (using xsltproc),
you should always make sure that it's using things from main, and not
some random version somewhere on internet.
This doesn't seem to be a package that's in main, but it's probably
still a good idea to use --nonet, so you can actually get consitent
results over time.
