When do you get this error?   When configuring popplerkit or when
opening a PDF file with Vindaloo?

poppler-splash was removed in the upstream poppler library several
years ago so the popplerkit.framework package has been patched to
build without it, specifically debian/patches/build_poppler107.patch.

Are you sure this patch is applied?

Only this package is necessary (as a runtime dependency).

This will be needed for a future PopplerKit release (I'm slowly
working on it but have been busy with other things).  Currently,
PopplerKit is using the private/unstable poppler C++ API which is
causing us trouble with nearly every new Poppler release.  My goal is
to switch to the official C++ bindings which are pretty stable.

I don't think this is a dependency issue.
