1.3.9-4 does not build on etch, even after installing po4a and
hardening-wrapper from lenny (which satisfies all depends). The build
fails with the following:

I don't know why g++ is complaining about assert, but <include assert.h>
makes that error go away. As to the other errors, SplashColor appears to
be defined in libpoppler-dev, and I'm not presently able to install a
newer libpoppler-dev to try building against it. My test systems
currently need to remain on etch and libpoppler-dev from lenny drags in
some build-depends that I'd rather avoid at present. If time permits,
I'll see if I can get it to build later this week.
