| Yes I know, I have already worked on updating the libpoppler patch, for
| luatex this is done, for TeX Live I have still to do it.

| packages, too.
|
| Then we can upload new texlive packages.

AFAIK pbuilder is supposed to be 'self-hosting' and use only unstable. I
could upload my package built on my home architecture --- only to see it fail
on all others.
