Bookworm(Debian 12) is the current *major* version.
Software in a stable distribution like Debian does not get updated
during the life of the Debian release. That means that the version of
Poppler (or anything else, with some rare exceptions) that is in Debian
on the day of the bookworm release is the version that is always in
bookworm for years to come.
I think David is suggesting that Poppler in Debian 12 is now three major
versions *of Poppler* behind.
That makes sense, especially after looking at the subject lines of the
last six months of the Poppler mailing list.
After the dust settles from Trixie's pending release I should be able to
install current version of pdftk and the Poppler packages.
Thanks,
Andy
