Not a big problem. What about a libbsdxml-compat-dev (or
libbsdxml-expat-dev) package for kfreebsd*, that depends on libexpat-dev
and ships the symlinks? Of course also libexpat-dev could ship these
symlinks, but it would require some kind of architecture-limited
provides (I cannot remember, if this is even possible - need to check
it).
