[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#981206: nftables: reduce Build-Depends

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: nftables
Version: 0.9.8-1
Tags: patch
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap

nftables participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Instead of working on such a difficult problem, I looked into
easily droppable dependencies and observed that nftables has some.

 * asciidoc-base is droppable in principle until one notices that the
   fallback strategy is shipping prebuilt manual pages. I suggest
   deleting them before build to ensure that manual pages are always
   built from source.
 * docbook-xsl and xsltproc can be dropped as there is no docbook
   documentation anymore.
 * python3-setuptools can be dropped as the python module uses distutils
   instead.

Please consider applying the attached patch.

Helmut
