You are the Uploader and the only competent person to decide. If I
understood the issue correctly it came up right after mrc was added to
the Build-Depends. Wouldn't it be an option to just de-couple both
again.

So please draw a sensible decision. Libzeep was according to popcon[1]
never installed by more than 10 users - currently the vote (active users)
is at zero. Feel free to decided what *you* personally love to see in
Debian (but decreasing a version number is usually not nice).
Kind regards
Andreas.
