Hi Jonathan,

I just recently stumbled over this blog entry [0] by Andej Shadura, and some days later, he showed up and started packaging some parts of the resvg dependency tree. So it appears somebody is working
on getting resvg package into Debian.

There are still several unpackaged dependencies until resvg can be uploaded. It's difficult to tell whether we will stumble over any major issues when packaging them. A significant part of the tree is
yet to be packaged, so I'm not very confident we will have it available in Buster, but I'm quite sure it will be available in Bullseye.

Thanks for your work on OpenShot, it's a great program.

Wolfgang.
