Actually, this isn't the reason xpdf was removed from testing. It was removed because of #728444 and #730866. The intent seems to be to bring xpdf back as soon as those bugs are fixed.
As much as I'm a fan of xpdf, I would actually prefer they remove it permanently unless they fix the problems outlined in my blog post. A subtly broken and possibly insecure package isn't acceptable in Debian. Fortunately, Evince has proven so far to be an acceptable, if imperfect, replacement.
