Sync xerces-c 3.1.0-1 (universe) from Debian testing (main).

[Jay Berkenbilt]

As debian maintainer for the xerces-c package, I'd like to suggest a Freeze Exception for this package. The version presently in lucid is 3.1.0~rc1-1. This is a release candidate that I put into debian at the specific request of upstream. Given that the final 3.1.0 version has been out for a while and has transitioned to debian's testing release, I think it would be preferable for the Ubuntu lucid release to contain that actual released version rather than the release candidate. There were no bugs reported against the xerces-c package during while the release candidate was in debian, and no bugs have been reported against xerces-c since that time, though a few upstream issues were corrected. It should be a very low-risk upgrade.

I am not subscribed to any of the ubuntu mailing lists other than ubuntu-news. I hope this bug report will be sufficient to trigger the sync.

Looking at the debdiff, it looks like a bugfix release only. Therefore no FFe is required.

the package builds, sync request ACK'd
