Interestingly enough, we patch this stuff out of xpdf already, for
presumably the same reasons.  evince either never had it, or it is
patched out in Debian.  I would be happy with us patching okular to
simply have a different default on Debian.

In any case, I think it was very premature to tag this wontfix.  There
are many trivial things you could do to improve the situation, in order
of preference:

1) Remove the DRM feature entirely

2) Patch the default to have it disabled

3) Patch the prompt to have an "allow/deny" option

4) Patch the text to tell people where to go to turn it off

#2 and #4 especially should be exceptionally trivial patches.

Why are you tagging it wontfix, Sune?
