On IRC aurel32 suggested to add a "Provides: libxml2" during the 
transition to provide a smooth-update path, which is now implemented in 
the version in experimental. I understand that will work around the 
problem raised above.

I believe that in general we're OK with going this route. I leave the 
actual planning to pochu, Sebastinas and ginggs as they handle most 
regular transitions.
