systemd depends on `docbook-xsl` to generate the manual pages. I do not
have that installed on my build system.

I found a recipe in `recipes/nonworking` [1] which dates back from the
import of the BitKeeper tree into Git and which has just `SRC_URI`
entries.

Basically these are just the XML/XSL files which need to be copied to
the correct location and somehow registered using `xmlcatalog`(?) from
`libxml2-utils`.

Has anyone of you tried to create a recipe for docbook-xsl or was it
considered not useful for the effort needed and therefore recommended to
install it locally on the build system?


Thanks,

Paul
