 Possibly, but I feel like I don't quite yet understand what failed exactly.
 
 Adding "--skip-validation" to all xmlto invocations feels wrong, but I
 saw that e.g. git-base already did that, so I just copied the
 workaround to get the packages to build.
 
 It sounds like libxml2 might need someone more knowledgeable to look at it.
