Well, xmlto does not pull any latex packages AFAICS, and my cowbuilder --login
test says dice wrt build-dependencies drag:
# apt-get install xmlto
Need to get 468kB/3592kB of archives.
After this operation, 20.6MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
# apt-get install xsltproc docbook-xsl docbook-xml
Need to get 345kB/3469kB of archives.
After this operation, 20.1MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Both approaches would do, imho.
