Tony,
JFTR: for complete parameters reference, see one of docbook-xsl-doc packages,
say the -html:
file:/usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl-doc-
html/doc/manpages/man.charmap.use.subset.html
As a reference, cppcheck package does:
xsltproc -''-nonet -''-param man.charmap.use.subset "0" \
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl
man/cppcheck.1.xml
(which reminds me that /share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/ should be changed
to /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/)
Also, it seems to me that build-depending on xsltproc && docbook-xsl &&
docbook-xml would not extremely trim the bits to be pulled as compared to
those pulled in the xmlto case, so don't expect big wins here ;-)
