Comment 4 for bug 987502

I have ended up to decide remove the "M-A: same" status from libxslt-dev (already present in Debian) and libxml2-dev (still not uploaded).

I think it's current solution by patching those scripts is not reliable enough. Assuming all the architectures will produce identical xml2-config files by this way is a broken idea because from time to time there are some architectures producing scripts that break the whole thing.

Steve, can you have a look at them and propose a new approach if possible? I know when libxml2-dev is co-installable then cross-compile will be easier as people aren't forced to remove native ones.
