libglade and some other packages still depend on the very old libxml1.
i just compiled libglade0 (and libglade-gnome0) by simply installing
libxml2-dev and rebuilding. anyway, porting a package from libxml1 to
libxml2 is quite easy, so i am about to file bugs agains those buggy
packages. i am also quite ready to nmu if the authors don't rebuild
but what's the procedure in this case? i don't want to displease
anyone, but this dependency on the old library is annoying quite some
of us.

p.s. the problem is that libxml1-dev confliscts with libxml2-dev and
the maintainmer does not want to fix that because packages should not
use an old and deprecated library. obviously i agree.
ciao,
federico
