The missing piece of the puzzle here, is that this pulls up a bit of
legacy naming problem.
evince, etc. have depended on "CSWpoppler" for a long time now.

The problem is that the actual contents of the package, would more
accurately be described as "libpoppler".

One way of getting us closer to sanity, would be to take the following steps.

1. Create new "libpoppler" packages, and submit them as official
packages. (I unfortunately had to wipe the old ones), for conflicts of
some sort.

2. Create an empty CSWpoppler and submit that for now also.

This would have the benefit of getting newer versions of the poppler
libs into our existing evince packages, and potentialy allowing newer
ones to be built, too


3. recompile evince, and the handful of other things currently
depending on "CSWpoppler", to properly depend on CSWlibpoppler
