Yes I know, I have already worked on updating the libpoppler patch, for
luatex this is done, for TeX Live I have still to do it.
But there are more things here, because we have to first upload a
version of tex-common which fixes the debhelper "I don't like it
if you use command line switches" release breaking the building of
most TeX packages we use. The current code base also has trigger
support, so it would be nice to switch over to that for the texlive
packages, too.
Then we can upload new texlive packages.
But why do you need to rebuild texlive-binaries?
BTW, you can get the libpoppler from lenny I suppose...
Best wishes

TREWOFFE (n.)
A very thick and heavy drift of snow balanced precariously on the
edoge of a door porch waiting for what it judges to be the correct
moment to fall. From the ancient Greek legend 'The Treewofe of
Damocles'.
