Description:

The new version 1.3 of xapian-core adds the suffix '-1.3' to all its commands in /usr/bin. This breaks other software using them. For instance, mu (mail indexer program similar to notmuch) uses xapian-config in its ./configure script.

I guess this is intended to ease the installation of different versions on the same system, but as arch only ships 1.3, I think we should rename, or symlink.
This task depends upon

Upstream has marked 1.3 as a devel release, as many projects do with odd numbered minor versions. Based on the soname bumps and the "odd" naming, I really don't think this should have been pushed into community, especially not without the zero to minimal testing that was done on the package....
