Bug#966018: transition: poppler

Hi,

It's time we get poppler updated. The new version fixes a few security
issues, and I want to get 0.85 into sid to free space in experimental
for 0.90 which fixes some more. Unfortunately 0.90 has a few more API
breaks, so let's do that later.

0.85 has been in experimental since February, yet 6-7 rdeps still fail
to build. However most or all of those have fixes released upstream
that unfortunately haven't made it to Debian. I'll file bugs and NMU
the rdeps that block the transition.

Fortunately poppler is smooth updatable, so those failures shouldn't be
a big blocker.

Thanks,
Emilio
