that build dependencies like xsltproc, docbook-xml and docbook-xsl can come
from an existing architecture because both packages are Multi-Arch:foreign.
This is why those build dependencies do not present a problem for
bootstrapping. Other big dependencies like doxygen, graphviz and w3m are in
Build-Depends-Indep so they are also not interesting for bootstrapping as they
are only used to create Architecture:all packages.

Just to add a rather unrelated argument for the nodoc support in apt. apt is (understandably) a key package. The Release Team (of which I'm a member) is currently exploring improvements to our tools to get a view RC buggy key packages. One of the facets we using is the nodoc (and nocheck) build annotations. So, we are really in favor of adding these nodoc annotations and the support of them in the build process.
