>Description:

The Makefile for sysutils/ups-nut says:

# nut looks aggressively for asciidoc in a way that is hard to turn off,
# and builds html docs.   asciidoc isn't that big, so just depend on it.
TOOL_DEPENDS+=          asciidoc-[0-9]*:../../textproc/asciidoc


While that is true, to build ascidoc you need full python, which
includes sqlite and various stuff that takes many hours to build
on small machines.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build a ups-nut client on a tiny machine.

>Fix:
Mostly an upstream problem, I will file an issue there.

But: ups-nut has a "python" option, that is totally voided
by this dependency.
