Sure, that's the part I agree with.

Let's backpedal a bit, my message had:

    This breaks d-i builds, (at least) via libnl udebs picking up a
    dependency on sgml-base, which doesn't exist in a udeb context.

There, “this” = buggy sgml-base dependency spreading, which broke d-i
builds *via libnbl udebs* (which was worked around); that wasn't meant
to mean that libidn2 itself was breaking d-i builds. It can't, as it
doesn't build udebs, so it's no factor.

Hope that clarifies.
