Comment:

 Just to clarify: after the recent changes (
 [644797a9ea72e4db0c8768b96fe1affd97252baf/git] ) the "regress" dependency
 difference from 3.4 is only the need of "xmllint" which was added as a
 dependency to build those comments. Docbook5 xml is not needed because
 comments are using XSL files included in the PostGIS source tree, so only
 the xsltproc processor was required in 3.4 and now we added xmllint to
 that dependency.

 For this reason I changed the ticket title to just focus on dropping the
 inclusion of comments from the extensions, as this is not strictly tight
 with regression testing.

 For reference, the (passed) PSC motion to drop comments from extensions is
