Package: mupdf
Version: 1.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Kan-Ru Chen,

I'd like to suggest to replace the link /usr/bin/mupdf -> mupdf-x11 by a little
script (similar to /usr/bin/xpdf from the xpdf-package) in order to be able to
use mupdf also with compressed pdf-files. Please find attached a script which I
use on my system for this purpose. Maybe it can be a useful enhancement for the
package.

Best regards,
Jörg-Volker.
