Binaries produced by this source package depend on libxml++2.6, a C++
wrapper around libxml2.
libxml++2.6 is no longer maintained upstream (#1038804). It has been
superseded by libxml++-3.0, which was itself superseded by libxml++-4.0
(RFP: #819562) and libxml++-5.0 (RFP: #1121304).
If this package is ported to one of the newer libraries, packaging the new
version will require packaging the new library first. In this case,
I'm guessing libxml++-5.0 (which doesn't depend on glibmm) would
probably be more appropriate than libxml++-5.0 (which does)?
Alternatively, it could be converted to use the C interface of libxml2
directly, or use an unrelated XML implementation.
