It seems that this currently has not been fixed in the mentioned
version.

After reviewing differences between 2.0.2-14.1 (Adamantix Package, based
on 2.0.2-14 Debian Package) and 2.0.2-23 I find:

diff -uNr debian/tetex-bin-2.0.2/libs/xpdf  new/tetex-
bin-2.0.2/libs/xpdf

szczepan@cygnus:~$ head -1 debian/tetex-bin-2.0.2/debian/changelog
tetex-bin (2.0.2-23) unstable; urgency=high
szczepan@cygnus:~$ head -1 new/tetex-bin-2.0.2/debian/changelog
tetex-bin (2.0.2-14.1) testing; urgency=medium

Wenn looking into the code I found out that there were done no changes
in the libs/xpdf code between 2.0.2-14.1 and 2.0.2-23 as mentioned in:
