FWIW, I've seen a few similar issues with docbook in the past (*)
and it should be feasible to write a linter for these kind of
inputs/native-inputs+docbook issues -- the 'wrapper-inputs' linter
(which checks that 'bash/bash-minimal' is in the inputs whenever
'wrap-program' is used) might be a good starting point.

This also seems like something (guix scripts style) could be taught to
automatically correct but I'm not familiar with that part of Guix.

(*) If I do 'git grep -F xml/dtd/docbook' and select a few cases, I see
quite a few suspicious uses ...

Greetings,
Maxime
