The reason inksape@0.92 is still kept around is becauseInkscape@1
doesn't build on ARM (more accurately, one of its dependencies,
lib2geom, doesn't). It's been a while since I looked at the issue, and
it seems there may have been some activity in lib2geom upstream to try
to address the problem, so we should revisit it.
