Poppler project does just gathering CMap data from Adobe, so it is almost same thing as Adobe does. Not better, but not worse. Poppler-data is installed by most users who needs adobe-cmap-* and gs-cjk- resource packages, if poppler-data can provide files from those, users don't need to install another package, so they can handle packages much easier. Just install poppler-data by default, and that's all - it's benefit for users. > By the way, if poppler-data is the canonical package to get CMap files > from, I don't think it makes sense for it to "Recommends: > poppler-utils" any more. Could you lower that to a Suggests? Okay, make it to Suggests. -- Regards, Hideki Yamane henrich @ debian.or.jp/org http://wiki.debian.org/HidekiYamane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
