Hmm, maybe I missed that we are in line now ...

No, not packaged. That is the reason I started on it for packaing.
If you just want to try it once and are using amd64 then get
http://www.logic.at/people/preining/software/psv.tar.gz
it contains a dir that can be stowed/graft-ed/whatever into your
/usr/local hierarchy, or run the scripts simply from the unpacked dir,
easy to understand.
Then try zooming in to under-one-character level, or add grids to
check the layout for your document.
I would say it is not the perfect viewer for quick what-was-in-that-pdf-again,
but if you want to check layouts, designs, graphics, fonts, carefully
read, it is the best option IMHO.
Best wishes
