This was dropped via #893702 in: https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/commit/5530623e9672c8afa4f186303bba29232b28ccd6 … due to the dependency on GCJ which is due to be be removed from Debian. In the aforementioned bug, Vagrant mentions that there is a pdftk fork that does not require GCJ but packaging and maintaining this would probably outside the scope of the Reproducible Builds team. However, doko also mentioned PyPDF (thanks), which I've integrated and implemented in: https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/diffoscope/commit/4e7ba71d40384c7bddc3365814cb91fd6e551790 debian/control | 1 + debian/tests/control | 2 +- diffoscope/comparators/pdf.py | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- setup.py | 1 + tests/comparators/test_pdf.py | 13 ++++++++++++- tests/data/pdf_metadata_expected_diff | 13 +++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) Whilst I was doing this, I found & filed #911649.
