Package: libxml2
Bug #776254 requested that libxml2 uses ICU for character set conversion
because of some unspecified issues with Chromium. This adds an otherwise
useless, multi-megabyte dependency (larger than libxml2 itself). I propose to
revert that change. This means that libxml2 will use iconv for character
conversion as before.
I'm sure that the Chromium issues can be worked around in another way. I'm
also disappointed that the Chromium developers never reached out to the
libxml2 maintainers.
I second this request. Alternatively, it would be great to have a build
profile that excludes ICU.
