What about linking libpoppler statically in the glib and qt shared libs?

Ondrej, we could encourage people not to link against the shared libpoppler lib
and even drop it completely.  This is what ffmpeg did in Debian for some time. 
This also encourages people to link against the ABI stable bindings.

The fact that the ABI will break even with the smallest patches makes me worry
about security uploads; if we can get rid of the libpoppler shared library and
keep only the bindings as shared libraries (built from the same source), one
security upload would be enough, no package renames etc.
