Yup, Axel already reported this a few days ago. You'll need this patch:
svn diff -r168:169 http://svn.laiskiainen.org/apt-rpm/trunk/

I wonder if the auto*foo stuff would be smart enough to pick xml2-config
instead of pkgconfig if you run 'autoreconf' on EL2.1 or something like
that. IIRC it can do something like that, at least in some cases. This
isn't an area I'm too familiar with... Ralf / others?
