Bug#518979: fop: embeds redundant metadata multiple times

[brian m. carlson]

Package: fop
Version: 1:0.95.dfsg-4
Severity: normal

I have included some RDF metadata in the XSL-FO files I generate.  fop
takes these metadata and creates well-formed XMP metadata from it.
However, fop produces multiple copies of these metadata and embeds them
again and again (it looks like it does this once per page):

   lakeview ok % grep -a '\?xpacket begin' an-orange-in-flight.pdf | wc -l 
   25

Obviously, I don't need twenty-five copies of the metadata; one would
be quite sufficient.  Doing this bloats the size of the PDF rather
significantly, since metadata are not compressed.

Attached are bzip2-compressed versions of the FO and PDF.
