Plans for a Poppler transition?

[Sebastien Bacher]

Hey again John,

I've uploaded poppler 21.11.0 to experimental this week and it cleared 
binNEW now, help with fixing the rdepends would be welcome. I didn't try 
rebuilding every rdepends yet but I did a few and those are failing,
- extractpdfmark
- gdcm
- pdf2djvu
- xpdf
- inkscape (which has a patch pending review upstream)

Cheers,
Sebastien
