The DocBook toolchain relies on XML parsing and XSL stylesheets that is heavy, complex, and partially on the verge of obsolescence.
For one, we use traditional non-namespaced DocBook XSL style sheets which are two generations behind where DocBook is today. The docbook-xsl package is at risk of being dropped from Debian, for instance.
Another concrete drawback is that Debian tries to proactively strip XML related dependencies from architecture dependent builds, to save on computing resources and speed up builds. But this can’t be done for netatalk because of how we generate the troff man pages from XML.
This is to look into converting the documentation sources to something like pandoc.
