Bug Description

To display unembedded CJK fonts, poppler needs poppler-data(*) package. However poppler-data is in multiverse. Please add poppler-data to Suggests field of libpoppler2, poppler-utils to inform users that you need to install its package by hand.

*) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler-data

Thank you for your bug report. I'm not convinced that the change is worth having changes over debian, especially since multiverse is not activated by default anyway

i strongly support adding poppler-data at least to suggests.

i cannot read http://www.huettenhilfe.de/wp-content/uploads/kochbuch/Tapas-Kochbuch.pdf, if poppler-data is not installed and i searched quiet a bit to find, that i have to look for it (say: 10 minutes). and this is just way too much!

i can understand, that this is not installed by default (well, say: partly, because ubuntu includes proprietary kernel modules), but why is it only in multiverse?
