html-xml-utils participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Rathern than look into such a difficult problem, I looked
into easily droppable dependencies. I rediscovered man2html (#902240),
but also found that netcat-openbsd is only needed for testing and can
thus be annotated <!nocheck>. Beyond that, my tooling reports gperf,
because the build falls back to using prebuilt files. Instead of
dropping it, I suggest cleaning the generated files to force building
them. Please consider applying the attached patch.
