reassign 664056 libxml-libxml-perl 1.93+dfsg-1
retitle 664056 libxml-libxml-perl (<= 1.93+dfsg-1) has issues overloading != on XML::LibXML::Element
thanks

This is actually a bug in libxml-libxml-perl before 1.94, see
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=75505

I've built libxml-libxml-perl 1.95+dfsg-1 and was able to confirm that
the test in libxml-atom-microformats-perl no longer fails.

My suggestion for the build-twice-in-a-row issue with
libxml-libxml-perl, lacking substantial EE::MM knowledge, would be to
"manually" anticipate what EU::MM "helpfully" bails out on, like so:

override_dh_auto_clean:
       rm -f Makefile
       perl Makefile.PL
       dh_auto_clean

"works for me" :-)
