In fact, unless someone has the tuits to diff every single
API and ABI surface of the package between trixie (ideally
bookworm) and sid versions, it would be best if any package
built against libxml2 >2.12 be binNMU’d in trixie, and once
2.12 is renamed to libxml3 or something, they are to be rebuilt
in sid anyway.

Who knows what other API and ABI breaks are hiding herein…
