I do not know ... If you compare:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=592812
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593435
Mine uses reportbug which makes formatted letter including required
command for archive maintainance (i.e., less work for release team).
Also my request was more explicit than yours citing "RC". These made
release team to understand importentance of my request without argument
and tilted judgement toward accepting request without question. That is
my take.
(Once you get some suggestion, you are not expected to argue with
release team. If they requested, you should have made such package
immediately.)
Anyway this is history, please read on.

It takes some time to get these archive script to be run.
Now both xpdf 3.02-9 and poppler 0.12.4-1.1 are in testing.

There may be some good reason behind "Conflicts and Replaces not versioned in
the same way". Unless you really want to upload poppler 0.12.4-1.2,
let's move on to upload xpdf in nice shape.
* xpdf 3.02-10 (as planned, please finalize git by tommorow.)
Let poppler maintainer worry fixing cosmetic issues. There are many.
