This will be a huge patch - I would place the sources in a debian
subdirectory. Will be around 200-400 kB source.

Not a new batik version. A newer fop version would be needed to drop
these patches (assuming the will be applied).

I found the correct tag in upstream as I remembered an email on the fop
list asking for tagging fop at the time batik checked out the pdf
transcoder stuff. This however will need also an update of batik to 1.6.

Eric, I will have a look into it as soon as I find time ...
