Package: inkscape
Version: 0.44.1-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
The inkscape and inkview binaries are some of the largest on my machine:

I'm particularly sensitive to disk space as I'm running from a 4GB flash drive.
I suspect that the inkscape and inkview binaries are > 90% identical. Would it
be
possible to eliminate one of them, and thereby save nearly 5MB? Possible
methods:
- Two links to the same executable which checks argv[0].
- An executable for inkscape and a script for inkview which calls inkscape with
a
view-only flag.
- Two small executables and a shared library.
I appreciate that not everyone shares my desire to optimise disk space and will
understand if you choose to ignore this report.
Thanks, Phil.

This happened with 0.92, with the exception that the total space used is
quite unchanged.
Therefore I don't deem this bug as done, but doing it now where

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22616 Jan 4 16:54 /usr/bin/inkview

Doesn't make any sense.
I'm closing this bug as wontfix.
