Package: recoll
Version: 1.13.02-1
Severity: normal

Why does recoll depend (suggests) on xpdf?

a) xpdf has a number of RC bugs, and is not actively maintained
b) the recoll package description states that pdftotext is required to index
pdfs, but there's anyway a suggests for poppler-utils, which contains that
utility.  Is there any advantage in having both?
