The extension itself is quite simple.

inkscape on the other hand, according to apt-rdepends has 755
dependencies on Ubuntu 25.04.

rsvg-convert (librsvg2-bin) "only" has 179.

So, instead of sphinxcontrib.inkscapeconverter we can use
sphinxcontrib.rsvgconverter and reduce the number of dependencies
quite significantly.

Does this address your concern?
