I did not convey the context correctly.

I thought I was describing the behavior of the gimp package with the
poppler-data dependency removed (= gimp,which indirectly depend on
poppler-data).
In that state, gimp will fail to build because pkg-config cannot detect
poppler-data during the build process.
Therefore, I left the poppler-data dependency in gimp.

I'm really sorry for my poor explanation.
