[Bug 1569626] [NEW] [FFe] Sync urdfdom 0.4.1-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Please sync urdfdom 0.4.1-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Why is necessary?
----------------
Sorry for discovering this so late. urdfdom is composed by two packages
the urdfdom libries (this request) and urdfdom-headers (all the .h files).
urdfdom-headers was synced before the freeze to version 0.4.1-1

jrivero at nium $ (master) rmadison urdfdom-headers | grep xenial
 urdfdom-headers | 0.4.1-1      | xenial/universe | source

urdfdom (libraries) was not synced since it landed  few days after the Xenial
freeze. It has really very little sense (and probably it is call to weird bugs)
to have 0.4 headers together with 0.3 libraries from the same software.

jrivero at nium ~ $ rmadison urdfdom | grep xenial
 urdfdom | 0.3.0-2       | xenial/universe | source

Information
-----------
 * Upstream changes (no upstream changelog file):
   There are a good bunch of changes since 0.3 release. 
   In another situation and different package I would not request the sync but
   note that urdfdom only has one rdepend: sdformat (I'm also the maintainer). We
   have been using together the two urfdom package 0.4 in debian for more than one
   month (no bug so far) so the current situation is more dangerous than the sync
   (to my understanding).  I'm also testing current xenial version of sdformat in
   the PPA.
     
 * build log and install log: 
   - urdfdom 0.4 in current Xenial:
   https://launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/urdfdom0.4-xenial/+build/9568607
 
 * What I've made to be sure this does not break anything:
   - Build the only package that depends on urdfdom inside the PPA:
     sdformat 4.0.0-1 current in xenial (only rdependency) with test suite:
     https://launchpadlibrarian.net/253527560/buildlog_ubuntu-xenial-amd64.sdformat_4.0.0-1ubuntu1_BUILDING.txt.gz 
   
   - The main executable using sdformat and urfdom is the robotics simulator 
     Gazebo. I've built it and run the test suite with the new urdfdom 0.4 
     in our building farm:
     http://build.osrfoundation.org/job/gazebo-ci-default-xenial-amd64-gpu-none/10/

Let me now if there are something more I can do.
