The dependency doesn't make sense since libxml2 has a python USE flag. That has to be added, too, for ${PYTHON_USEDEP} to be effective. However, it looks like the libxml2 usage has been replaced with lxml a long time ago, see upstream commit 45a4d079652f <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/commit/45a4d079652f58f4bc36466771836bf3d7c7ff73>. I might be missing something, but I guess the dependency on libxml2 shouldn't be fixed, but be replaced with one on lxml. BTW, wouldn't optfeature be a better fit for all these flags/dependencies?
