Two things:

1) I *really* don't understand why Ghostscript configuration file are
being installed by poppler. It would be worth finding out how (and even
if) poppler actually uses them, because I rather feel poppler and
Ghostscript configurations *should* be separate. For example, if I get
time, I'll probably be tweaking the capabilities of cidfmap at some
point, which could, potentially, break poppler's use of these files.

2) the question of whether poppler will fall back to some other
substitute CIDFont is moot since, if poppler *does* use those
configuration files, it won't (normally) find the font files they
reference anyway. So even if poppler does use them, splitting them off
into a separate package and fixing the dependencies will work better for
poppler, too.
