The helper script external-tools/check-prerequisites.py certainly does not do anything obnoxious like "trying to download the pysvg module". It merely tells the user how to retrieve the proper version thereof. Quite apart from that the dependency can safely be demoted to Recommends:, or even Suggests:, if the former is still coupling too tightly.
