  Description     : Encoding data for the poppler PDF rendering library

This package contains the encoding data needed to view some PDF
documents with libpoppler.

However I don't think there is anything copyrightable in these files;
they only contain series of numbers that describe the mappings. Do you
people think it could be suitable for main?

Ondrej, are you willing - if the legal problems are settled out - to
package it? Otherwise I guess me or any of the co-maintainers could do
it, the packaging is absolutely trivial.

The new poppler version needs some specific files that contain some
mappings between Unicode and other encodings, which are in a separate
package.
