Yes, I had been contacted about that issue that I didn't realize.  I
have a mostly working WIP that stalled just because I don't know m4, and
from the few hours I spent on it I dislike it quite a bit.

I planned on fixing that .m4, uploading it and retry all the failed
builds, since quite a few failed with messages coming from libxml2.m4.

Feel free to hold onto it.  See https://bugs.debian.org/949534
