It should only go to network if the Docbook DTDs are not available locally
(or not properly configured). I have no idea how this works in detail, only
that it works when I install the proper package (docbook-xml on Debian).

Indeed there is no direct option to skip building Docbook documenation, but
it can be indirectly forced by setting e.g. DOCBOOK_XSL_DIR to a non-
existing path:

  $ cmake . -DDOCBOOK_XSL_DIR=foo
  ...
