Hi Andreas,

Thanks for spotting that one. I have to say I only focused on the HTML
documentation, which gets successfully generated with the existing
doxygen settings. I am not sure whether pulling the extra Latex 
dependency for generating the pdf version is worth it though.

The font problem is something I should probably talk upstream about.
Overall, their doxygen settings needs a good refreshing too. The size of
the documentation package sounds unusual to me actually.

May I suggest to do the upload anyway and check what the builders
report. I am more interested in the outcome of the builds to check
whether any of the existing 4 FTBFS bugs has been fixed with this
snapshot. That way, Ican get upstream to iterate on the fixes.

Thanks,
Ghis
