I reviewd your recent changes to packahes and reverted followings:

* 5ebeca9c23695beaadf120f849de2008f4000938

This introduced poppler < 0.13 in Build-Depends.

I do not like this.  I am not expert enough to explain here, no packages
I remember define < type limitation in "Build-Depends:..." in general.
I also checked packages depending on libpoppler-dev or
libpoppler-glib-dev such as luatex, inkscape, evince, openoffice.org,
texlive-bin...  For bumping library API, I thought we do Source upload
or Binary-only NMUs (binNMUs).

I also do not like your quick inclusion of versioned dependency to
libexpat1. This breakage was on mixed system anyway.  This versioned
dependency should be declared by the package if it is needed.  Placing
random dependency definition as workaround is a bad idea.
