Comment 11 for bug 987502

Sorry, but what's the justification for this being an SRU? Yes, the libxml2-dev package is wrongly marked as co-installable, but I don't see how the impact of this warrants an SRU - especially given this:

That's not an ignorable regression potential; there's a huge number of packages in Ubuntu that build-depend on libxml2-dev, and we don't know which of any of them, or what third-party software, is affected by this change.

Given that this is only a -dev package that's affected, not a runtime package, I don't think it makes sense to SRU this - and I certainly don't think it warrants priority: high.
