Comment:

 Did anyone do any testing to verify that the poppler command line
 utilities perform in the same way the xpdf command line utilities do?  If
 not, (and there are differences) then I agree that this is a "dangerous"
 sort of change - people who know what the xpdf package contains (not just
 the xpdf X11 pdf viewer) won't get what they are expecting.
 Making an xpdf-tools and poppler-tools set of ports (or similar) and
 making them not conflict seems like the best solution.  I'd suggest that
 the poppler-tools alter the binary and man page names to reflect their
 origin (as they came later than the xpdf tools).
