Describe the bug xml-stripblanks message when building Debian package

To Reproduce

./build.sh deb

Gives following WARNING (does not appear to be fatal)

xml-stripblanks preprocessing requested, but XMLLINT is not set, and xmllint is not in PATH

Resolution apt install libxml2-utils

Notes/Thoughts Since this appears to only be a WARNING & still results in a successful build; do we gain anything by installing libxml2-utils?

The warning is generated here https://github.com/giuspen/cherrytree/blob/master/scripts/gresource_to_c.py in fact I don't think we gain in stripping the XML blanks as a C file is generated and used at the end of the process but the warning is annoying. I'll check to either disable the stripping or add the dependency

Actually I'm wrong as the .SVG files are .XML We should add the dependency

Could you be so kind to open a PR as you did for file? :)
