Package: wkhtmltopdf Version: 0.9.9-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
we ship xvfb-run in the xvfb package, which makes it trivial to run something with xvfb. I guess it's a better idea to document that than to point to some random wrapper hidden on a bug tracker. Please find a patch attached. Thanks for considering. KiBi.
