[xml/sgml-pkgs] xmlto is installing unneeded dependancies

Hi.

I just installed "xmlto" on a fresh stable installation, and I noticed
that "apache" got installed as well:

apache 
apache-common 
apache2-utils 

docbook-xsl 
docbook-xsl-doc
libpaper-utils

As far as I can tell, xmlto does not need any of those apache packages.
Removing them from the system also doesn't render any problems with
xmlto.

Doing a lookup on "xmlto" on Debian packages doesn't show anything
about apache as a dependency.

http://packages.debian.org/etch/xmlto

Looking at Tim's homepage, who is the author of xmlto, shows nothing
about apache.

Problem:

When installing xmlto the following unneeded packages gets installed:
apache 
apache-common 
apache2-utils 

Apache is then up and running.

Best regards.

Rico.
