Bug#324882: libxml-dom-perl: ignores encoding on output

After this module corrupted my output data I just spent an hour trying to
track down what I was doing wrong, since this module supposedly supported
UTF-8.  Then, I find that this is a known bug for two and a half years.

If a major bug like this is left lying around for that long, this
package is unmaintained and should be deprecated in the package
description: point users to a reliable, maintained XML parser so
we don't waste our time writing code for this one.
