Package: libxml2 
Version: 2.7.8.dfsg-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

The following patch converts libxml2 to multiarch directories (by modifyin rules)
and adds needed Multi-Arch: stanzas to control file. dpkg-dev build-dep was dropped
as debhelper > 8.1.3 already pulls newer dpkg-dev in.

"Multi-Arch: same" packages must have identical files installed to same path, for
this reason /usr/bin/xml2-config is modified to get rid the arch-specific libdir.
Since the linked will search the multiarch path anyways, no functionality is lost.
