Hi,

I propose that we switch gnome-core to depend on papers instead of
evince for Debian Trixie.
I installed papers yesterday and in my case I was not impressed as it
feels much slower than evince, both at startup and in operation, with
a sensible lag when opening the headerbar menu.
Maybe it's related to me still using X, not Wayland. (?)
Also, I inadvertently ran papers *.pdf in a directory with a bunch of
files (but not that much, 28 files, for a total of 13M), and the ouf
of memory killer had to intervene.
I did not investigate further as I had no time for it and it was just
simpler to switch back to evince. Looking at it now, with the same
simple PDF, Papers consume ~4 times the memory Evince consume.
Hopefully it works better for others and performance/memory issues
will be addressed but maybe the switch could be delayed to the next
release?
