May I kindly ask the xsltproc debian developers to release a new version
with the patch mentioned in #383408 being reversed, as:

- Upstream intends to replace the patch by another solution (look
  above).

- The patch does not solve the problem it was intended for (look above).

- dblatex and perhaps also other packages are affected negatively by the
  patch (#389694).

Although the patch should be reverted automatically when the next
xsltproc upstream release hits debian, it is unknown when that will
happen.

Regards, Andreas

P.S. Daniel, thanks for all the background information you provided.
