groff participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked
for easily droppable dependencies and found that poppler-utils is only
used for pdfimages and pdfimages is only used for testing pdfmom. As
such, it can be annotated <!nocheck> to become irrelevant to all this
bootstrappy stuff. Please consider applying the attached patch.
