As additional information:
Installing docbook-utils (containing docbook2man) on a plain Debian
system, requires 131 MB of additional disk space.
xmlto requires 18 MB.

The Docbook/XML chain is much more light weight (at least on
Ubuntu/Debian). I guess the results are comparable on other distros.

Cheers,
Michael
