   * debian/control: Add dependency libpoppler-qt-dev to libpoppler-qt4-dev, so
     that build-depending on the latter pulls in the required file
     poppler-page-transition.h. That's ugly, but still better than shipping the
     file in both packages and make them conflict to each other. (LP: #114186)

   * debian/control: Add 'ghostscript' recommends to poppler-utils.
