That would cause build failures like: a2x supports several formats and I decided that all of them should be fullfilled only by recommends. If you want to use a2x you may have to adjust your build-deps. Afair asciidoc itself doesn't use xmllint, so the recommends is correct here. This change was done some time ago especially for those guys using asciidoc in build-depends. In the past all output formats of a2x were supported in Depends which led to an enormous dependency chain. Therefore I changed it, and I don't plan to revert the change.
