The directory /usr/share/doc/libxml2-python-*/ includes a lot of py files that seem to be part of a test suite; those should not be included the package.
The package maintainer said they are necessary. Sorry.
they are also examples files, and I point to them as being good examples to use from the documentation, so I will keep them. On the other hand the nearly 800Ko changelog should be compressed. Daniel
I have changed libxml2 and libxslt spec files to compress the ChangeLlog Daniel
