unblock xml2rfc/1.36-5

The squeeze version of xml2rfc fails to remove /etc/sgml/xml2rfc.cat on
either remove or purge. Upgrading such a system and then installing
wheezy's xml2rfc results in a conffile prompt as discovered by Andreas
Beckmann using piuparts in #680291. Note that the behaviour of the
squeeze package is a policy violation. The updated version solves the
conffile prompt for the left over file. I attched the full debdiff
between the version currently in wheezy and the fixing version in sid.
