I don't know what I should do in Debian because I'm using RedHat
but seldom use binary packages.  Maybe you'll be able to get
more helpful information in Debian communities.  However, there's
only one good news.  I tried the latest xml.el with Emacs 21.3
and Gnus v5.10.6 and roughly confirmed that it can be used.  If
you don't use CVS, try the following one:

ftp://ftp.jpl.org/pub/tmp/xml.el-1.43
or http://www.jpl.org/ftp/pub/tmp/xml.el-1.43

I don't recommend use of sources under development unless you do
it every day.  It is because tomorrow's sources are always best,
and it is my daily fun. ;-)
