the proper way to do this, is to rework both the xpdf package, and
poppler, to use CSWalternatives.
NOT, to mark packages as "incompatible" with other current packages.
Please note: maintainers of xpdf and poppler will have to work
together, to agree which should be the "default" xpdf, if both
packages are installed.
Regarding xpdf, there is no collision, its the utilities
(pdftotext...) that collide, which was why I suggested to Benny that
he also split them out to a separate package and we make them
(poppler and xpdf_utils incompatible).
It would really be the best to use alternatives to select which set
of tools would be selected. That way both packages can be installed,
no breakage, and if one or the other has some minor advantage in one
or the other environment the user can easily select the tools of
choice. It is pretty simple in GAR:

Benny, Roger: Just let me know if I can be of any assistance in this
issue.
Best regards
