For even more fun, packages that use hevea to build their documentation ran
afoul of this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=989703.

Is the hevea maintainer (Andreas Thienemann?) even around anymore?  I don't
see any maintainer activity since 2008 (which is why we're still on version
1.10 versus upstream's version 2.06), and rjones's comaintainer request for
hevea is sitting there untouched.  If not, somebody else is going to have
to fix that bug before hevea-using packages can be rebuilt successfully.
