Cool.  Thanks for volunteering.

Great!

Yes.  Ubuntu provides a libming-dev package (cf.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/libming-dev).  I don't know what it
takes to get an Ubuntu package into Debian so I'm hoping you do.  For
libemf-dev you might want to start with my package, which you can
download from my pakin/other PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~pakin/+archive/ubuntu/other).  I just now
updated this to libEMF 1.0.8.

I just downloaded this from
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/pstoedit -- is that the
right source? -- but don't see pptx support.  "pstoedit -f pptx
myfile.pdf myfile.pptx" aborts with "Unsupported output format pptx".

You can open pptx files with LibreOffice.  That should work reasonably
well on pstoedit output.
