Well, I think cmap-adobe-* is just a master (historical) copy and its
role was over. poppler-data is better, I believe.
Actually cmap-adobe-* packages are used by only gs-cjk-resource and
xpdf.
gs-cjk-resource may be merged into poppler-data also.
xpdf will be replaced by evince+poppler-data or can be modified to use
poppler-data.
I think it doesn't break anything that I simply remove cmap-adobe-*
without providing any transitional packages when these packages finish
to migrate.
