This most surely is the proper way to solve it.
As I've stated before, poppler is a fork of the xpdf code, so why should 
we decide which is the proper "pdftotext".
If you take a look at other dists, some have both xpdf, xpdf_utils and 
poppler(_utils) where poppler(_utils) and xpdf_utils are providing the 
same things, i.e are incompatible and the users get to choose which to 
install.
