In asciidoc 8.2.7 the upstream author has replaced fop by dblatex as the default
tool for creating pdf output.  As dblatex is packaged in debian main (in
contrast to fop), this is an improvement, e.g. it should ease the release goal
to weaken the dependency on fop (compare #452470).

However the dependency on dblatex is still missing from the asciidoc package
(I'd suggest either Depends or Recommends).  Furthermore as some parts of the
upstream package are missing from the debian package, a2x currently is broken
regarding pdf if one has installed dblatex:

$ a2x -f pdf example.txt
Error: Latex style '/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.sty' not found
a2x: failed: dblatex  -t pdf -p "/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.xsl" -s 
"/etc/asciidoc/dblatex/asciidoc-dblatex.sty" "./example.xml"

As this derogates the asciidoc support for printed media massively, that is half
of its functionality (besides online media), I consider it as a bug of important
severity.  If you need help regarding dblatex, don't hesistate to contact me.
