I'm currently moving servers to 16.04. I'm affected by this bug. Would you please fix it in 16.04? Cheers!

As Xenial is an LTS version and this bug is quite *critical*, I wonder if we should provide an update to fix this one. If I remember correctly, we're not supposed to update to a newer version a given package for a given version of Ubuntu, but as this version of Ubuntu will be used in many servers in the coming years and XML parsing is quite a common task, it may help a lot of developers to have a backported fix of this issue. Let me know you if you need more information.
