It's targetted at experimental; I just asked the release team to grant
the unstable transition for the SONAME changes (this usually takes a
while, probably after the python2.5 move so a long while).

Sure; I don't upload poppler regularly, it just happens that I had some
spare time to prepare it; I tried building kdegraphics, koffice2, and
evince to try the new poppler out, and they built fine. My laptop
wasn't too happy about this churn though, so I'd appreciate if someone
from the TeX group could try out the new poppler instead of me. :-)
Packages are at:

Hmm ok.
Let me know if you find out whether it doesn't work and how much time
you need in general.
