It would be nice if either #766884 could be fixed, allowing the new version to
migrate to testing, or if #765722 could be fixed some other way. Any fix would
imply a rebuild, which would fix this issue automatically.

I guess you mean
nmu 2 libxml2_2.9.1+dfsg1-4 . amd64 armel armhf i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel powerpc ppc64el s390x . jessie . -m "Rebuild for multiarch sync"
- there is no need to rebuild twice, you can specify the binnmu version
- you are asking for a rebuild in jessie
I'm not scheduling these now, as it would be nice to know the status of the RC
issues in libxml2 first.
Cheers,
Ivo
