Just remove the last hunk of the patch.  It's spurious.

After removing that part, the patch applies and produces a correct build.  
>From a local test:


 Package: python3-libxml2
 Depends: ... python3 (<< 3.7), python3 (>= 3.5~), python3:any (>= 3.3.2-2~)
 Provides: python3.5-libxml2, python3.6-libxml2
...
 ./
 ./usr/
 ./usr/lib/
 ./usr/lib/python3/
 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/
 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/drv_libxml2.py
 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libxml2.py
 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libxml2mod.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/libxml2mod.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Also, please remove " Provides: python3.5-libxml2, python3.6-libxml2".  That's 
never been valid for python3.

It would be a help to the python3.6 transition if this could be uploaded soon.

Thanks,
