Bug#582164: rsvg-convert: please provide option to disable PS fallback image

[brian m. carlson]

Package: librsvg2-bin
Version: 2.26.3-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/rsvg-convert

When converting a simple SVG logo into PostScript, rsvg-convert always
generates a fallback image.  This turns what would be a 5968-byte file
into a 609678-byte file.  In other words, it increases the size more
than 100-fold.  I have no need for this extra data and don't really want
it at all.  Please provide an option to disable this fallback image, or
(better yet) provide an option to enable the image and disable it by
default.
