Package: pdfedit
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: important

Hi, 

while downloading the source of pdfedit to handle bug 510784, I fell on copies 
of:

* xpdf code (3.02 - 2007-Feb-27 - 4 Debian revisions since then, of which 6 
fixed CVEs)
* kpdf code (from KDE 3.3.2 - 2005-Mai-10 - KPDF 0.1 - Actual version in Lenny 
is the one from KDE 3.5.9)

Checking atimes before and after building on files in those both directories 
tends to show that they are used in the compilation. The produced binary 
visibly includes the xpdf and kpdf code.

This code duplication is a security risk for pdfedit users, furthermore with 
such old code.

Best regards, 

OdyX
