Come on, inkscape 1.0 is not _that_ buggy.  It has been around for a whole
year (with a few fixing releases in-between), and it's the version present
in Debian 11.  If it really has grave bugs (I really mean grave), then
those should be filed separately, and I should work on getting them fixed
as patches on top of 1.0.2.

Then, concerning the ftbfs of 1.1.  I know of it of course.  Just that I've
been busy over the past month.  I'm as weirded out by that test failure as
you, especially since I couldn't reproduce it anywhere else.
But no, I'm not going to ignore a test failure just because it's skipped in
other architectures for different reasons: I'll need more convincing
reasons.

If you'd like other bugs in inkscape 1.1: opposed to 1.0.2 it's doing some
kind of unaligned memory access somewhere (yet to debug), which makes it
crash on armhf when run on arm64 hardware.  I was basically forced to
ignore that test failure on Ubuntu and that annoyed me enough, I really
don't want to ignore tests just because it's convenient for somebody.
