Only python is a hard dependency. The others are optional.

By default xsltproc will simply get those stylesheets from the web. The
only thing docbook-xsl should do is allow xsltproc to find a local copy
of them, so you can build without a network connection.

Please paste inline. :-) I'm offline at the moment so I have no idea
what that build failure is.

docbook-xsl should always be an optional dependency. If it's not
installed we should be loading the stylesheets from the web.
