The problem seems to be that cmake's FindLibXslt can't deal with the headers
being split across /usr/include and /usr/include/<arch>.

Would you consider moving all headers to /usr/include/<arch>? This should make
libxslt's packaging easier and avoid special cases in build systems like cmake
that try to detect it.
Imho the disk space overhead when you have libxslt1-dev from multiple archs
installed is negligible.

Cheers,
Felix
