Oh, that simple; somehow embarrassing that I missed this :)

I didn't check what got implemented exactly (sorry I'm assuming wrongly or don't understand the problem), but I feel that a stricter dependency is only there to prevent the warning. I *think* the warning should be patched out instead and is a sign of the lack of proper SONAME bumping by upstream libxml. It's exactly that point that we'd like to see improved (e.g. by finding when the library breaks it's interface; or better, by upstream just being more aware of the problems). Working around that problem is probably more work in the end.

Although I recognize: pick your battles.
