I am actually thinking about stripping Docbook toolchain altogether
(better sooner than later), and move its maintenance into separate repo,
because its addition tripled repository size for all subsequent versions.

I also find it a disadvantage that irrelevant lines from Docbook sources
mess with grep results.

This will desync all current pull requests, but will save a few minutes
of developer time for every clone (change) that people make. Of course,
ideally it will be good to merge these PR if not only me thinks that such
cleanup is needed.
