Is it not? I thought I saw it somewhere, for other packages. Anyway.

My apologies, I did not know that Poppler API and patch issue. The only
thing I saw is a source packages that did not compile although I had the
necessary dependencies installed.

So there is a good reason for that. Again, sorry if I did not see it,
my report was pointless. Sorry for the time it took you, too.

Yes, but luatex's experimental version is needed as a dependency of
texlive 2009. Anyway, I am playing too much between stable and unstable,
that is my fault.

No problem, I shall not reopen it now I know the reason of that strange
Build-Depend.
