[Bug 1515358] [NEW] Please merge xmlgraphics-commons from Debian

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Public bug reported:

xmlgraphics-commons 2.0.1-2 has been packaged in Debian and is a
required dependency for the latest version of batik and fop.

I intially ran into this because I tried to sync the latest version of
fop because it carried an Ubuntu delta which was no longer needed.
Unfortunately it failed to build (see bug 1515361) due to among this
package being out of date. This would help, though not fix all for fop.

I've prepared a debdiff for this now, but I have to admit I'm not
familiar with this package so I don't know the impact of going from 1.x
to 2.x will have for reverse dependencies. Therefore I don't know how we
want to handle this going forward. :)

See https://code.launchpad.net/~hjd/+recipe/xmlgraphics-commons-daily
for a successful build of this package on Xenial.
