OK, got it. Are you still interested to sponsor this package, now when
you know about status quo? If so, I'll create an account at
alioth.debian.org and we'll continue from there.
Just a sidenote: I've been using xpdf myself for many years, and found
it a nice piece of standalone software. I'd really be sad to see it
disappear from Debian. My search for good alternatives has not been
successful so far. One issue is that I don't need is to edit the pdf. I
don't even know if xpdf supports that?
Thanks a lot for your interest :)
