Thomas, Olaf is that intended as the main functionality of the program should be implemented by pdftk (function unpack_files)? pdftosrc is a small program build on top of the xpdf libraries, so it uses the same code for accessing pdf objects as pdftex. I'd say that if the pdftex maintainers are willing to maintain pdftosrc, then the program should be installed (not only build) and that something like the manpage that you have submitted should be added.

Hm, it's not clear to me why it got rejected (or where, for that matter). In this I agree with Thomas' position: the program belongs to the pdftex team. If they maintain it, let it be installed and have a manual page like the one you provided. If they don't, and no-one else does, then program and manual page should vanish. I'll cheerfully help implement whatever decision is reached. -- Olaf Weber (This space left blank for technical reasons.)
Bug#215248: Man page for pdftosrc
Dear pdftex developers,
the pdftosrc program included in pdftex has no documentation so far. A
year ago, Hilmar Preusse has started to write one and asked on this list
about comments on his draft, but unfortunately nobody stepped up to have
a look at it.
May I ask you again to review the attached draft man page?
Many thanks in advance,
Frank

.SH NAME
pdftosrc \- extracts stream objects from pdf\-Files.
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBpdftosrc\fR \fIPDF\-file\fR [stream\-object\-number]
.SH DESCRIPTION
A pdf\-file simply consists of a set of different kind of objects,
which are linked to each other and refer to each other. One special
kind of object are stream objects. \fBpdftosrc\fR is written to extract
single stream objects out of a pdf file.
.br
The idea behind that program is that one can include the TeX-source code
(or parts of it) into the pdf file as stream object.
pdfTeX provides the low level command \fB\\pdfobj\fR to put objects
into a pdf-file. Further there exist \fB\\pdflastobj\fR to return the
number of the object created.
.P
A simple example could look like:
.P
\\documentclass{minimal}
\\usepackage{times}
\\begingroup\\pdfcompresslevel=0
\\immediate\\pdfobj
stream attr {/Type /SourceFile /SourceName
(The TeX sources)}
file{\\jobname.tex}
\\pdfcatalog{/SourceObject \\the\\pdflastobj\\space 0 R}
\\endgroup
\\begin{document}
test
\\end{document}
.P
Call \fBpdftosrc\fR \fIPDF\-file\fR 1 to extract the first stream
object, which contains the complete TeX-Code of the compiled pdf.
.br
\\pdfcompresslevel=0 were used to make sure the included streams will
not be compressed (and hence will be unreadable by human) when written
into the pdf\-file. \fBpdftosrc\fR will automatically
uncompress compressed streams, when they are extracted, so this is only
necessary if anybody wants to view at the pdf\-file using a text editor.
.br
\\usepackage{times} were used to get a font, which comes with Acrobat\*R
(and Ghostscript) and to not clutter up the pdf\-file by too much binary
stuff, because no fonts have to be included.
.br
A more complete example can be found in the section \fBEXAMPLE\fR.
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR pdftex (1),
.BR pdflatex (1),

.SH EXAMPLE
The example was contributed by C. V. Radhakrishnan and later simplified.
Thanks! Stream 1 is the complete source code. Stream 2-4 are the 3
equations of the document.
