Yeah, Michael decided to increment the revisions and I followed suit in
the packaging:
* http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/xpdf.git

Not that big... :-) I took care to comment each of the patches in the
commit list of the xpdf-poppler fork that I am maintaining in github.
Also, I am including other people that may also be interested in getting
an updated version of xpdf in Debian.
While I prefer the version of poppler that I am maintaining I think
that, for less disruptive changes, Michael's version may be preferrable.
Regards, Rogério Brito.
