I don=E2=80=99t know.  The problem here is that when augeas is used as a =
library
and you only add =E2=80=9Caugeas=E2=80=9D (but not =E2=80=9Clibxml2=E2=80=
=9D) as an input the
configuration will silently fail.

It is ugly, though, that a user installing augeas as a command line tool
would end up with =E2=80=9Clibxml2=E2=80=9D in their profile.

Should these be two package variants then?
