Comment:

 To be more precise, the only implicated dependency in libzzip is xmlto,
 which unfortunately depends on texlive, which has a very large dependency
 chain, as you've noticed. So the question is whether xmlto can be made to
 depend instead on a more targeted subset of texlive ports that wouldn't
 have such a large dependency chain. If not, moving libzzip's documentation
 building into a doc variant could be ok, but we would like to avoid it
 since we prefer to have fewer variants and more featureful ports. Since
 libzzip and xmlto have no maintainers, I'll Cc the maintainer of texlive
 to get his opinion.
