Reviewers: , Message: For some context: I played with the Docker containers shared by Han-Wen. The one based on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) is 974MB in size. Removing things like git, nano, gdb and additional fonts (when purely interested in automated building) gets me down to 809MB. Of the remaining, dblatex seems to be one of the larger dependencies because it pulls in much of TeXlive. After removing the image only weighs 667MB.
Given that it is used only for compiling a single test produced by lilypond-book (nothing that ever shows up in the uploaded documentation), I would also be happy to drop the dependency entirely. The lost coverage amounts to not checking that the produced .xml file can be processed by dblatex... Description: Make dblatex an optional dependency Commit cfa910f1c1 in 2012 made it required unless disabling the doc build. This is an overapproximation since dblatex is only required for compiling the DocBook result of running lilypond-book on the file input/regression/lilypond-book/suffix-lyxml.lyxml. If unavailable the rules in make/lilypond-book-*.make have checks to only produce the intermediate .xml file, without running dblatex to produce a .pdf.
