There's nothing wrong with back-tracking on decisions if they seem to
cause problems. For instance, the mozilla herd has done a lot of
flip-flop on the system/internal sqlite issue, and we explained the
reasons to our users[1] and they agreed that it was useful, and a good
decision.
If it turns out there is no easier way of properly fixing this, we may
have to split poppler-utils out from poppler. In this regard, I like
how people like Maciej are spending efforts to solve the problem in
new ways (PDEPEND, etc)
