Hi there,

thanks for the report.

I suspect this might be related to this recent change:

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-netfilter-team/pkg-nftables/-/commit/4eb323698ee7d8e50132fb271c0f3aa92c727285

Could you please check if introducing back docbook-xsl as build-dep fixes the issue?

I might have my local sbuild chroot polluted somehow, I cannot reproduce the issue.
