That's a slight variant of "This is usually a missing
*versioned* (test) dependency in your reverse (test) dependencies or a
missing Breaks in this package or both. However, if this is *only* a
test issue, it's possible that it's considered wrong to declare that in
the package meta data; in that case reach out to the Release Team to
ignore the apparent autopkgtest regressions for this case."

So, should libxml-libxslt-perl have a versioned Depends on 
libxml-libxml-perl? Or vise versa, a versioned Breaks?
