Two things:

1) I *really* don't understand why Ghostscript configuration file are being installed by poppler. It would be worth finding out how (and even if) poppler actually uses them, because I rather feel poppler and Ghostscript configurations *should* be separate. For example, if I get time, I'll probably be tweaking the capabilities of cidfmap at some point, which could, potentially, break poppler's use of these files.

2) the question of whether poppler will fall back to some other substitute CIDFont is moot since, if poppler *does* use those configuration files, it won't (normally) find the font files they reference anyway. So even if poppler does use them, splitting them off into a separate package and fixing the dependencies will work better for poppler, too.
