Hi,

After reading
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xml-security-c/+bug/1269434 a
couple of times and noticing that the Santuario home page does not warn
against Xalan anymore, I decided to enable it.  I vaguely remembered
even a passing mention of it by Scott discussing the pkg-config changes
in Santuario, by I may got that wrong.  You needn't backport it and we
can revert the change in unstable in a blink, so opinions welcome!
