Ouch. That will make at least the distributors unhappy.

Probably hard according to Hartmuts remarks on "no idea how to make that
consistent with poppler".

Hahaha, Martin, wasn't it you complaining about them at one of the
BachoTeXs?
Well, I am not sure how to proceed. And I am not sure how happy
Debian (and probably other) security guys will be about the
reintroduction of code duplication etc.
But if it is the only way to go, although I am unhappy, so it be.
I mean, we could have saved us all the work last year to convert
TeX Live to a way that it compiles both wiht poppler and xpdf, only
to see that it will soon break again ... :-(
Best wishes
