Matthias, I've uploaded the specfiles and patches associated with the pdftk, itext and java-1.6.0-openjdk packages from Fedora rawhide to a placekeeping entry on fink tracking...
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2847724&group_id=17203&atid=414256 I don't believe the pdftk package will be as hard as making sure we have the required itext and java-1.6.0-openjdk packages available in fink. Yes, I noticed that debian has dropped pdftk from all their branches except stable.
