I would just set 2.4.4 as the minimal version. This is already
the minimal version for PDF output anyway:

	my $rec_version = "1.7.9";	# PDF won't build here
	my $min_pdf_version = "2.4.4";	# Min version where pdf builds

and requirements.txt also sets to it. Yet, it would be nice to
change requirements to 2.4.5 as the default pip-installed version.
