- Make separate spec file for PolicyKit-doc so that PolicyKit does
not require TeX for building.
This is because TeX stuff is **huge**.
and use of TeX for man pages is incredible...

They use DocBook, wich pulls in deps:
xmlto -> passivetex -> xmltex -> texlive

The use of DocBook is very common and far from "incredible".

why not give the text and info package in the rpm, along with the docbook source. following such deps IS incredible...
