The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:

And trying to install it by hand doesn't help: it wants to install LaTeX, ruby,
tlc among other things:
# aptitude install kernel-package
The following NEW packages will be installed:

xsltproc{a}
The following packages will be upgraded:
kernel-package
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:

I think you'll agree with me that that's a lot of unnecessary dependencies to
compile a kernel, and that keep the package xmlto as a suggestion was the right
