How important is it to install manpages without docbook? Ah, I didn't realise some were dynamically generated. This isn't a crucial feature, more of a 'nice-to-have'. In the Linux From Scratch book (<a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/systemd/">http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/systemd/</a>), when building the base LFS system, we do not have libxml2, libxslt or the docbook-xml/docbook-xsl infrastructure either. We could provide a patch/tarball to deliver pre-built man pages based on the 'configure' options in our instructions. It'd be nice if you could ship the non-configure-specific man pages though, to cut down on the size of such a patch/tarball.
