Add the unofficial apt repository
http://www-id.imag.fr/Laboratoire/Membres/Danjean_Vincent/deb.html
and follow the rebuild instructions from the list recently.

Alternatively, make a deb yourself (at home, with a small aubergine) with
dh-make-perl --build --cpan XML::Simple

We'll fix this Real Soon Now and announce it here.  Or you can watch

obsessively.

That shouldn't be a problem.  Koha doesn't use the Linux kernel
directly.
