Thank you. I filed the bug upstream because this is caused by upstream's build system. If I used nss 3.130 in the Depends field, then poppler wouldn't be able to transition to Testing until nss 1.30 does which is the same situation we are in now. And I don't think it's very practical to generate -dev Depends versions based on the version the package is built with. I agree that it feels like an RC bug for an unnecessary build system design to delay security updates from reaching Testing. To avoid this, I think we'd need to revert the 2025 change to how poppler prepares its .pc files. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
