Bug#454991: rsvg and rsvg-viewer should not be packaged together

[Vincent Fourmond]

Package: librsvg2-bin
Version: 2.18.2-1
Severity: wishlist


  Hello,

  I was looking for a converter SVG to PNG, and I found that
librsvg2-bin is pretty good at this job. However, I was rather upset
when installing it pulled in 30MB of gnome dependencies... I didn't
look in the code, but I would be very surprised if the converter
depended on gnome's printing libraries.

  The solution to that would be to package them separately. What do
you think about that ? After all, the converter could be used
on a X free server. It would then pull in even much more useless
dependencies, such as the full X11 librairies. 

  Thanks

	Vincent Fourmond
