Should they > stay seprate or be merged? libxml-parser-perl is intentionally not using the perl-package infrastructure, because we don't want to require building host-perl to build host-intltool. Some libxml-parser-perl is using the system-wide Perl, which is a mandatory Buildroot dependency. Perhaps we should add a comment in libxml-parser-perl.mk to explain this.
