I've released qpdf 7.0.0 and have uploaded it to debian unstable. You may go ahead and sync it into Artful now. There are no substantive changes from 7.0.b1. I fixed a few minor bugs around memory issues in handling invalid streams, tweaked the internals of the new DCT filter to make it work with older versions of the jpeg library to help out CentOS 6 people, tweaked an error message, and fixed a command-line parsing error -- definitely stuff that falls into the bug fix category regarding Ubuntu 17.10.
If anyone on the printing team wants to go ahead and upload cups-filters, that should ease the transition in debian, but the existing cups-filters will rebuild fine with the new qpdf as I have preserved source level compatibility. Obviously we need the latest version to get PCLm. Let me know if there are any questions. If needed, I could NMU cups-filters if someone provides relevant details. --Jay
