 The reason for this was security I believe. xpdf code is embedded in lots
 of other packages (see http://glsa.gentoo.org for some examples). By
 linking to poppler this is fixed in one place.

Right you are, the reason is security.
 
 Though if someone is willing to maintain a vanilla xpdf ebuild I'd have no
 complaints. Genstef?
 
I have no complaints either. If there is exg doing the security bumps and
taking care of the upstream version I am supporting it.

I would have no problem in doing it, but since I am the only one so far
who see an issue in the current situation I don't think it's worth the
effort.
