13 I think that it will be easy to explain users that we *need* to split
14 poppler and poppler-utils to prevent circular dependencies.

16 About splitting others... well, sometime ago I saw that cups is being
17 split in Arch (having cups and libcups) when trying to investigate how
18 to deal with avahi -> gtk+ -> cups -> avahi circular dep problems (bug
19 222601), but I don't know if it could help with this case and how much
20 work would it require :-/
