I think it's silly to split packages for no good reason. And doing it to |
| 7 |
avoid circular deps is only a good reason in extreme cases where |
| 8 |
they can't be worked around in any other way. Standard Gentoo |
| 9 |
practice is one ebuild per upstream package and useflags to toggle |
| 10 |
optional functionality. I don't see any reason to deviate from that |
| 11 |
practice in the case of poppler. |
