Should the dotnet/sdk image include libxml2 in order to support dotnet-coverage?

In the dotnet/sdk image, if I run dotnet tool install dotnet-coverage and then run unit tests with code coverage, the result is an empty coverage report, and this message is logged to the console:

No code coverage data available. Profiler was not initialized. Verify that glibc (>=2.27), libxml2 and all .NET dependecies are installed.

The code coverage tool requires libxml2, as documented on this GitHub issue: microsoft/vstest#981 (comment)

Since code coverage should be a common thing to do when using the dotnet/sdk image, should we consider including libxml2? In my particular case, my CI builds run in a Docker container but not as root, so I have to jump through hoops to install libxml2.

Also see microsoft/vstest#3400

That's a great question. I've created an issue for this and we'll discuss it in triage: #4184

Great, thanks!
