Frohe Weihnachten!

Did not really break but let's use upstream rather than local fixes
This reverts commit cbf6724.
Let's use upstream rather than local fixes, texlive has been updated
since.

This reverts commit 263eb74.
ebb was the old tool and looks like it is on its way out, a very least
from Debian and for pdfTeX.

From manpage:
-------------
 Here are more details about the bb and xbb formats:

 The original  ebb  (from dvipdfm) ignored density information in bitmap
 images, and generated bounding boxes with 100px = 72bp = 1in.  Unfortu‐
 nately, screenshots (especially) tend to look bad with this approach.

 So, extractbb (from dvipdfmx) uses density information if present.
 Otherwise, it generates bounding box with 100px = 100bp.  This is what
 pdfTeX does.
