I can't comment on the libxml2 part, but making pkg-config a hard
requirement to build PG would probably be a safe bet nowadays. (I'm
still not arguing that we should.)

That is not true, I just verified that both 16.04 and 14.04 (already
EOL) have a working `pkg-config libxml-2.0 --libs`.

I'm saying that the Debian libxml2 maintainer shouldn't try to make
this change unilaterally without libxml2 upstream.
