Public bug reported:

libimage-info-perl contains the following dependency declaration:

Depends: ... libxml-libxml-perl | libxml-simple-perl

If libxml-libxml-perl is installed at time of autopkgtest, everything is
fine.

If libxml-libxml-perl is not installed, then:
414s     # Can't locate XML/LibXML/Reader.pm in @INC (you may need to install the XML::LibXML::Reader module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.36.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.36 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.36 /usr/share/perl/5.36 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/share/perl5/Image/Info/SVG/XMLLibXMLReader.pm line 21.

To address this, the dependency list should change to say libxml AND
simple.  The justification for that is based on code inspection of
l/I/I/S/XMLLibXMLReader.pm, which says:

use XML::LibXML::Reader;
...
require XML::Simple;

The package TODO also mentions the XML::Simple dependency, so if that
reference were dropped then the depends list could likely be reduced to
libxml-libxml-perl excluslively.
