Hi,
pdfTeX contains sources for pdftosrc and ttf2afm, but "make all" in
pdftexdir does not compile them:
# pdftex_bin = pdftex ttf2afm pdftosrc
pdftex_bin = pdftex
A user of TeXLive in Debian complained that pdftosrc is missing, and at
a first glance I thought that the lines above were all that needs to be
changed. But then I found that ttf2afm is built in TeXLive
nevertheless, by some other dependencies probably (it seems to be built
from "make ctangle", hm, strange).
Is there a rationale for enabling one but not the other? You don't
know, by chance, the clean way to enable pdftosrc, don't you?
Interestingly, the manpage for pdftosrc is still there:
