checking for XML configuration
checking for xml2-config... /usr/bin/xml2-config
checking for xmlParseFile... no
configure: error: Unable to link with libxml
make: *** [debian/stamp-autotools] Error 1

The source of that failing check is this:

AC_CHECK_FUNC(xmlParseFile,, [AC_MSG_ERROR([Unable to link with libxml])])


Since libxml2-dev changed between wheezy and sid, I suspect that to be to blame.

There is no API breakage AFAICT, but libxml2-dev is indeed to blame.

In wheezy:

$ xml2-config --libs
-lxml2

In unstable:

$ xml2-config --libs
-lxml2 -lz -lm

But libxml2-dev doesn't depend on zlib1g-dev!

(IMO severity of this bug should be bumped to serious, but I'll leave this to the maintainer.)
