I had another look around the repository. The tool used to "compile"
those XML files into text, html, json and so on is written in java with
a lot of dependencies that are not present in Debian yet.

I am not willing to introducing dozens of new packages just to produce a
text result of those sources files.

I'm wondering if packaging the "data" repository[1] would be acceptable?
On one hand it is generated, but one the other, it is still plain text
files.
