My interest in pisa/xhtml2pdf is trac-wikiprint, a plugin to
create "PDF books" from multiple Trac wikipages. It was working
fine some years back, but broke with time. I'm not optimistic
about fixing this for stretch.

Yes. I like to package xhtml2pdf as a new package, replacing
pisa. I'm not sure, how exactly, because xhtml2pdf is barely
useful for other use cases. I could not render any "serious" web
page with 0.1b2. I will probably leave out the xhtml2pdf command
line utility, because it will lead only to users frustration.
