| Yes I know, I have already worked on updating the libpoppler patch, for

| Then we can upload new texlive packages.

| BTW, you can get the libpoppler from lenny I suppose...

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.
