Why this is trying to hit the network is beyond me. > Because the web reference exists, I guess the build machine had no > internet access and thus importing the stylesheet failed. However, the No. And you may not assume build chroots, nor build *machines* have access to the network. Moreover, *I* (personally) am often without internet, and this is really quite annoying. > > And after installing docbook-xsl it works. > > And this is the next interesting part.

Why can't you declare a recommends and avoid causing packages to FTBFS because they didn't know to depend on docbook-xsl to build an *asciidoc* file to a manpage. If someone wants to (for whatever reason) remove it, you can with recommends. You can read more in section 7.2 of policy. > But docbook-xsl-ns is not involved in any kind here.

This is a package build. You see, we can't allow things in main to depend on things outside of main. Yes, this includes this fun little website I don't care about. I don't even care about docbook. I care about getting a manpage on my system. I really don't care about implementation details of a2x. > install/build-depend on docbook-xsl, because asciidoc doesn't pull in > docbook-xsl automatically. > > So where is the problem you described? Do you have any bug/build log? When I applied a fix in VCS[1], it worked again. Again, I can't be too clear, for packages build-depending on a2x, it likely has a serious bug if it's not also depending on the files it needs to build offline. Could be considered non-free as well. You can fix all of this if you add a proper package relation, or by documenting this behavior somewhere.
