Interesting. My thinking then is that the poppler-data package
shouldn't be a separate package at all. I suspect that upstream they
are shipped together as a single thing? Of course, another way to
resolve that logical dependency is to just have poppler depend on
poppler-data. I wonder if that was the case in a previous version of
Ubuntu?
