(Get the code!)
> Perhaps you didn't install the corresponding version of the support library package?
That was it! I did a quick "pstoedit -f pptx myfile.pdf myfile.pptx" test for some PDF file I had sitting around, loaded the result into LibreOffice, and it looked correct. (Okay, there was a tiny glitch, but it was presumably not packaging-related -- most likely due to either drvpptx or LibreOffice.)
> In case this is the problem I've pushed (in the packaging repo) a strict version dependency to force the library version to precisely match that of the executable. Perhaps something less strict would be okay, but I don't feel like testing version-skewed configurations.
It's unlikely that a normal user who installs software via APT, Synaptic, etc. would notice a difference either way so optimizing for ease of testing seems pretty reasonable.
