Hi,

the ruby-asciidoctor-pdf package as present until at least Debian/trixie
used to provide the /usr/bin/asciidoctor-pdf + /usr/bin/asciidoctor-pdf-optimize
binaries, but at least version 2.3.24-5 (as present in current Debian testing
+ unstable) doesn't provide *any* binary (also see
https://packages.debian.org/forky/all/ruby-asciidoctor-pdf/filelist).

I suppose this might warrant as RC bug, unless I'm missing something?

/usr/bin/asciidoctor-pdf was split out into the 'asciidoctor-pdf'
package as that was required to make things cross-build successfully.

I'm not sure how to fix this; with the integrated package, cross-build
for packages using this was broken, with the split-out package, users
will lose this tool in an upgrade.

Ahhh, an entry in changelog.Debian that goes beyond the "Split into
two packages" would have been helpful. :) Maybe this even warrants
an entry in NEWS.Debian?

Any reason why asciidoctor-pdf isn't in Recommends of
ruby-asciidoctor-pdf? :)

A fine question. I'll do that and then mark this bug as closed :-)
