dconf participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked
into easily droppable dependencies and noticed that dconf no longer uses
libxml2 in any way. Please consider applying the attached patch to drop
the libxml2-dev dependency.
