[Bug 1031478] [NEW] Drop Build-Depends on poxml

[Jamie Strandboge]

Public bug reported:

installation-guide uses poxml from kdesdk, which is keeping a lot of KDE
in main. If installation-guide were updated to use something else, a
large dependency chain on KDE could be demoted, which would aid the KDE
to better support these packages.

There are two options as I see it:
* convert installation-guide to use another tool
* fork kdesdk/poxml and have installation-guide use it. As it turns out, poxml only has modest dependencies on qt4, so this might be the way to go.
