I ran into some trouble with this on the same package, also Debian.

Some .pdf would load, but others would not.  I noticed that some of 
those .pdfs that didn't load seemed to be multi-page.

Not sure why, but some applications (OpenOffice) would generate blank 
pages that didn't show up in previews, but would in acroread or xpdf, I 
think.

You might check the .pdfs themselves.  (Too bad we have to use them in 
the first place, eh?)

Cheers,
