Remember when I told I had a version comparison template in xsl language I
was not proud about? It is implemented for that, and up to know (2-year
testing), it has been working OK, although it looks like a piece of junk.
The dependency generator checks whether a package is already installed
(and then does not list it in the deps, unless there is a newer version
available in the book source).

Shouldn't that be in the BLFS stylesheets? If it's there, I don't see it. I suggest you commit it and let me take a look.

If detailed level of optional priorities is given, then we have to give
the user a choice (build or not build doc, test or not test, ...).
I think it would not be hard to do with the current tool, but we would
have to convince editors to put the necessary information into the book.

What I had in mind is something like:

    <bridgehead renderas="sect4">Optional</bridgehead>
    <para role="optional">
      <xref linkend="DocBook"     role='docs' />,
      <xref linkend="docbook-xsl" role='docs' /> and
      <xref linkend="libxslt"     role='docs' /> (to build manual pages), and
      <xref linkend="valgrind"    role='test' />
    </para>

If the role is not included, then treat as normal. I don't think that is a big change and it would not be mandatory so the book could be updated incrementally.
