I disagree with this. The docbook documentation is for end users, who usually 
finds the program already installed. This is also why we started removing the 
installation instruction (the appendix) from this documentation (see the last 
version of docbook templates into KDocTools).


What you described is developer documentation, which could live in the usual 
internal README, and on the other side the steps you would describe are common 
among all other projects hosted on kde.org (so a page on one of the wikis).
