experimental, the configure script does detect the absence of the

However, this rebuilt will not be automatically triggered without a
bump in the SONAME version of libxml2.
In summary, the introduction of version 2.12 of libxml2 in unstable
will need a proper and coordinated transition.
No, this will still break partial upgrades.
Losing symbols needs a major shlib version change *including*, in
Debian, changing the binary package name so that the old and new
shlibs are coïnstallable.
And this needs to be exercised in experimental first, not only
when introducing this to unstable.
Alternatively, bring the symbols back.
Thanks for the clarification, this is exactly what I meant. I apologized
for not being clear enough.
Best,
