Does this bug really make libxml2 unusable for everybody? I see it has
a lot of reverse-dependencies, so it should be easy to check.

If that were not the case, then I think this bug should have severity
important: "a bug which has a major effect on the usability of
a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone".

I can reproduce this failure in a clean sid chroot.
I can't in a clean Jessie chroot.
