And because libpoppler is linked against, say, libexpat that happens to
pdfetex, too? I think this is similar (the same?) to the situation
described in
<URL:http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/11/msg00016.html>.
I am not sure, though, if I would like to tinker with teTeX's (IMO
rather complicated) build system.
