I'd like to update poppler to version 25.01 for Debian 13.

This requires a transition for libraries libpoppler and libpoppler-cpp: 
the former gets a SONAME bump with every monthly release, and this time 
the -cpp library got bumped too.

I've already checked all rdepends in sid and submitted patches or asked 
for packaging new versions of the affected packages which needed source 
changes for API differences. This is always handled by #ifdef'ing so 
that the same source can compile against either version of the API.

As of today all rdepends from sid can already be binNMU'd except:
* libreoffice: fix is committed in salsa but unreleased
* scribus: there is a new minor version upstream to be packaged: we 
would upload this as NMU if the maintainer doesn't in time
* calligra: could not verify the build because it already FTBFS for 
different reasons - but it is sid-only so not a blocker

The auto tracker here is correct: 
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-poppler.html

I'm not a maintainer of the poppler package; my point of contact for 
help and sponsoring the upload is Jeremy Bícha.

I'm confident we can finish the transition by the transition freeze, 
just announced to be 2025-03-15.

Thanks.
