Bug#1033422: base-passwd: missing Build-Depends docbook

In fact, your build environment isn't minimal. Here's the true reproduction recipe: apt install docbook-xml apt build-dep base-passwd dpkg-buildpackage [etc.] base-passwd Build-Depends: docbook-utils Depends: docbook-dsssl Depends: docbook (>= 3.1) | docbook-xml. This means that having docbook-xml already installed causes apt not to install docbook. The RC policy (https://release.debian.org/testing/rc_policy.txt) is that packages must autobuild, and autobuilders don't randomly have non-build-essential packages such as docbook-xml installed, so this is not release-critical. It seems reasonable to add an explicit Build-Depends to fix it, but I don't think I need to trouble the release team requesting a freeze exception to get it into bookworm; it can wait until the next release. In the meantime, I recommend that you make your minimal build environment truly minimal - it shouldn't have non-build-essential packages installed.
