Usually it’s a matter of defining XML_CATALOG_FILES (which happens
automatically if libxml2 is an input), or something similar.  If you
grep gnu/packages/*.scm, you’ll find instances of this that either add
libxml2 as an input, or modify the XML DTD URL to refer to the local
DTD.

If upstream makes it a separate package, I think it’s OK to make it a
separate package too.

Now, if you really want to make it a single package, it’s also possible,
by simply adding extra phases in ‘gnucash’ to build the doc.

HTH!
