Hi everyone, a few questions have come up since I filed those bugs reports and my bug description was not fully accurate, I'll try address them with this email.

The other parameters (-w,-h,-d,-p,-x,-y,-f) behave the same though.

Will this > symlink be available in future versions of librsvg2-bin? As I wrote, upstream removed the old rsvg python script. In the Debian package, I added that symlink to not break existing packages until they have been updated. When rsvg-convert is called as "rsvg", i.e. via the symlink, it set's the -o parameter automatically to be fully compatible with the old rsvg script. Once all packages have been fixed to use rsvg-convert instead of rsvg, I will remove rsvg in the next release cycle. I would like to see all packages being fixed for wheezy, that means the rsvg symlink would be removed in wheezy+1. If there are still open questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
