You may want to take a look at a refactoring of xpdf with the poppler
backend at:

    http://github.com/rbrito/xpdf-poppler

It doesn't presently compiles with recent versions of poppler (they added
arguments to some functions), but it may present itself as an alternative to
the xpdf that Michael currently maintains.

Perhaps, in the not so distant future, I may even upload what I have to the
debian archive.

One curious observation is that, apart from contributions by Barak
Pearlmutter, most of the help that I have received so far came from Gentoo
and from OpenSUSE. I would love to have feedback from some Debian users.
