Depends on your package manager. If your package manager does not require you to build actual source code (e.g. C or C++), you should be able to have your build script convert the Docbook files and put those into a package. You'd of course need to make sure that the documentation is not included in the main package containing the actual binaries that run your desktop.

You should not have to build a package. As long as it can still get the variables from the system you're converting or viewing them on, it should not be a problem.

If you have any experience or interest in the development side of Docbook then please feel welcome to help. You don't have to write or edit, just help set up the environment and I'll document the process for everybody --- but I need help getting there. :)
