It should indeed. I never used "startup". I install first make, then base, then 
gui and then back, checking each time what configure told me. It will warn you 
if some hard-dependencies re missign and, in case, tell you how to skip them 
with the correct configure option. In any case you should have noticed that at 
configure time, not build time.

"startup" already contains several dependencies.

Perhaps other can add a comment here. What packages ar eincluded in startup? 
Perhaps there is an overlap in debian-supllied packages and startup ones?

I do wonder that startup did not warn you. Libxml2 s highly recommended but not 
compulsory, libxslt is more optional in general usage.
