As the subject says: the attached patch adds the possibility to do a
bootstrapping build of poppler at a stage where Gtk+ and Qt are not yet
available.

While I am looking forward to a way to disable frontends in a clean
way, your patch is for sure not acceptable to me:
- I don't see DEB_BUILD_PROFILES documented anywhere in Policy, so
  I have no idea what it is supposed to be, and what tools are supposed
  to do with it (and neither you describe it, other than "pick this
  patch"...)
- excluding packages (-Nfoo -Nbar ...) is quite ugly, feels like a bad
  hack than a well-designed solution

I will eventually do the job myself when there is a *clean* and
*documented* way to do this, so please no hacks in the meanwhile.

Thanks anyway for your patch,
