Yes, I haven't seen any suggestion to add that line.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848671#25
suggests to comment this line out.

I doubt that this would change anything for them since the commands
are no longer recognized. So, I would say that removing this line
(or commenting it out) would be the right fix (or workaround) for
now to avoid the annoying error messages. Users can still add their
own config either on the system side by modifying /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc
or on the user side by adding a ~/.xpdfrc file (in which case
/etc/xpdf/xpdfrc is ignored entirely), and may propose new config
solutions in new bug reports.
I've cloned this bug to 2 new bugs:
* The config file commands are no longer recognized since the
poppler-xpdfparams.patch patch from 3.04-2: one can see some command
handling code commented out, and this ends with an error:
} else {
error(errConfig, -1, "Unknown config file command '{0:t}' ({1:t}:{2:d})",
cmd, fileName, line);
and
+ } else if (!cmd->cmp("psAlwaysRasterize") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("enableT1lib") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("drawAnnotations") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("nameToUnicode") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("cidToUnicode") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("unicodeToUnicode") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("unicodeMap") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("cMapDir") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("toUnicodeDir") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("fontDir") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("fontFileCC") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("psResidentFont") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("psResidentFont16") ||
+ !cmd->cmp("psResidentFontCC")) {
+error(errConfig, -1,
+ "Some work needs to be done to suppport this option in the
Poppler version of xpdf");
}
which are the error messages one gets. So, the removal has been done
on purpose and is apparently due to the new poppler versions.
* The xpdfrc(5) man page still lists these old config file commands.

Bug#848671: xpdf: Many errors "Config Error: Unknown config file command..."
I can confirm that this problem is still present in Stretch 9.0. Starting from a Debian LiveCD image (9.0.1 Debian Mate), and using "apt-get install xpdf" to install xpdf, and then entering "xpdf " yields a long list of Config Errors on the xterm console ... of the form: Config Error: Unknown config file command 'fontFileCC' (/usr/share/xpdf/xpdfrc-korean:6) Config Error: Some work needs to be done to support this option in the Poppler version of xpdf The suggested Workaround of adding "include /etc/xpdf/includes" is not helpful as this line is already at the end of the /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc file in the stock Debian Stretch release :( Additional suggestions appreciated - thanks !

I can also confirm this bug in testing (Stretch). xpdf version 3.04-4 Apparently the bug is similar to the bug 640162 ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640162)

I can confirm this bug.
