docbooks-xml and docbooks-xsl aren't that big (adding 8MB to a minimal debian
install).
However a) we document installing fop as well, even though it's not needed for
the html docs build b) the dependencies recommended by the debian packages
increase the size a lot. Just using our documented line ends up with 550MB.
Perhaps separating out fop and using --no-install-recommends (and other
similar flags) makes it less of an issue? We probably should work to deliver
a more usable error than what just using --nonet gives you...
