Bug#414225: please do not depend on GTK+

Package: librsvg2-2
Version: 2.14.4-2
Severity: wishlist

When upgrading desktop-base from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 on a [rather barebone] KDE desktop, I noticed that the new dependency on librsvg2-2 resulted in an increase of disk space usage of about 18 MB.
It seems OK that desktop-base depends on librsvg2-2. However according
to librsvg's homepage:
"It is lightweight and portable, requiring only libxml and libart at a
minimum"
I imagine the build options and upstream architecture explain the dependency on GTK+, so this may well be an RFE for upstream.
