It's in 1.3.10-3:

  * debian/control: Drop ghostscript build dependency again, pdftops filter
    uses poppler again. Also Drop alternative xpdf-utils build dependency,
    since configure now checks for poppler's pdftops capabilities.

Also, poppler-utils' pdftops supports -origpagesizes which is required
for correct handling of mixed portrait/landscape documents.

Hm, not sure how to fix that; perhaps an additional Breaks:
xpdf-utils?
