Dear Maintainer,
poppler 26.06 changed the Page box accessors (getMediaBox(), getCropBox()
and friends) to return a const reference instead of a pointer, in upstream
commit d50a4510 "Some const PDFRectangle * to const PDFRectangle &"
dia's PDF import plugin still assigns the result to a pointer, so it will
FTBFS once poppler >= 26.06 reaches unstable:
```
../plug-ins/pdf/pdf-import.cpp:96:53: error: cannot convert 'const
PDFRectangle' to 'const PDFRectangle*' in initialization
../plug-ins/pdf/pdf-import.cpp:97:52: error: cannot convert 'const
PDFRectangle' to 'const PDFRectangle*' in initialization
```
This was found in a test rebuild against poppler 26.07.0. Unstable is still
at 26.01.0-5, so the package builds fine today
The attached patch takes the address of the returned reference, guarded by a
POPPLER_VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR check in the same style the file already uses for
poppler. It is a no-op with the current poppler in unstable, so it can be
applied now, ahead of the transition

Description: Fix FTBFS with poppler >= 26.06
poppler 26.06 changed the Page box accessors to return a const reference
instead of a pointer. Take the address of the result, guarded by a version
check so older poppler still builds
