For the sake of backporters I would at least make it *easy* to
patch it so that it still configures/runs with libpoppler 0.18.
Debian wheezy will hopefully be released sooner or later, but with
poppler 0.18. After that any backport to it will be abit a problem.
So - again - it is not necessary, but it might help various
(not only distributions) if at least the patching of 0.18 possibility
back in is not too complicated.
I might also be wrong and in 3 month all the dists and everyone is
using poppler 0.38 ;-)
Best wishes
Norbert

Wonderful rush of relief on discovering that the ely (q.v.) and the
wembley (q.v.) were in fact false alarms.
