I didn't file it for the plain build issue. Nevertheless, if it broke so 
many projects you probably should do a full-fledged rebuild and send 
patches before uploading to unstable and putting this on all maintainers 
(or by making them get a FTBFS bug by Lucas once a rebuild happens at 
which time people won't remember the libxml2 update)

In any case, *this* bug is about the ABI change: removed 
symbols/versions other stuff relies on.

Long story short: libxml2 2.12 has still a long road to go with much 
work on your side until you can upload it to unstable.

Regards,

Rene
