[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#1019210: libxslt1.1: How to stop stderr log: "Attributed ... IDs for element, cleaned up ..."?

[Tobias Hoffmann]

Package: libxslt1.1
Version: 1.1.35-1
Severity: minor


On debian systems (but not other linux distributions / upstream libxslt!),
use of libxslt can cause "secondary" log messages written to stderr,
which are not redirectable via the usual xsltSetGenericDebugFunc /
xsltSetGenericErrorFunc.

It seems to come from here:
https://sources.debian.org/patches/libxslt/1.1.35-1/0002-Make-generate-id-deterministic.patch/

AFAICT the information output by the fprintf is of _no_ relevance to
ordinary users...(?)

Can the fprintf be removed from the patch, or possibly hidden behind
some conditional flag, for those that really need it?
