That's due to a bug in the last release of docbook-xsl
(https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/issues/109).  It's fixed
on the core-updates branch by using an unreleased snapshot.  Since
elogind has 2953 dependents, we'll have to wait until this branch is
merged, which should be soon!

Closing.
