Bug#1050005: ITP: pdftopng -- Convert PDF to PNG
You're right, I thought I remembered this to be just a python wrapper around pdftoppm, so I didn't see a reason to patch camelot-py to avoid this package, but I've now looked at it in more detail and realized that it would probably have to be patched to use the original pdftoppm rather than their own patched version, so there is no real point to this. And for some reason, camelot-py is using it through subprocess rather than using the python library, so I hope that maintaining the patches isn't going to be too problematic . -- Elena ``of Valhalla''

I would imagine, since the original ITP also mentioned a Python project that requires this package, that the "Python library" part may be important: the upstream authors of the other project may have decided to use it, as a Python library, instead of fiddling with child process management by themselves.

Does pdftocairo from the poppler-utils package do what you need? If not, would it make sense to submit patches to add pdftopng to the poppler-utils package instead of creating a separate package for it? Just a suggestion. ...Marvin
