[poppler] poppler-data and non free stuff

Hi, i just realized that the new poppler-data 0.3 that has the good thing of 
being a free package misses some files like
	Adobe-Japan1-UCS2
without it some files like http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=10014 are not 
rendered correctly (missing MS in first line)

So we have three options:
 a) Revert to shipping non free files
 b) Create a separate non free package with the missing files
 c) Wait and see if Adobe responds to pressions on releasing those files also 
under a free license.

Opinions?
