Package: xpdf-utils
Version: 3.01-5
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
pdftotext unexpectedly deletes the default .txt target even if something was
there already. This caused me to lose a .txt file related to the PDF of the
same name. Perhaps this should output a warning instead?

I don't think this is a bug. CLI programs usually don't prompt for
confirmation in these cases, and pdftotext only seems to follow this
convention. See for example ps2pdf.
