Well, pdftohtml depends on poppler-utils, which however conflicts even with the current version of pdftohtml - hence, pdftohtml gets uninstallable. What needs to happen is that poppler-utils only conflicts with non-transitional versions of pdftohtml. And: Thank you for actively reducing the amount of work for the security team.
