libxml2: Packages changed without updating version number (at some time in the past)?

[Max Bowsher]

I just ran into an interesting problem with libxml2. Based on the contents
of my local package cache, and the current contents of the mirror network,
it seems that the libxml2 packages were updated without bumping the version
number at some point in the past. I was just looking for comfirmation of
this. In case is helps jog the maintainer's memory, the previous 2.5.7-1
packages contained "prefix=/netrel/install" in the xml2-config script,
whereas the current ones contain "prefix=/usr".
