gpdf still embeds xpdf code

Hi, I noticed that gpdf has been orphaned as current Gnome has switched to evince as the PDF viewer. The problem is that gpdf still embeds a complete copy of the xpdf code base. xpdf has a poor security history and I expect more issues to pop up during the 30 months of Etch security support. Please
