Yes, I don't speak for Canonical but my impression is that Canonical
would rather not commit to providing support for inkscape.

There's a lot I don't know about Ubuntu language packs. But I think a
rebuild should be all that's needed. (I am guessing that the next
18.04 language pack simply won't include inkscape translations. The
rebuild is so that Launchpad won't strip the translations during the
build so that the app will have regular upstream bundled
translations.)

Well those won't be used by anything any more. Optionally, you could
opt into Ubuntu language packs if you wanted (only affects Ubuntu
obviously) by adding the X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes header to your
debian/control. See Evolution for instance:

It's not like I diskliked having it in main, mind you! :)
(wouldn't that imply that Canonical was supposed to provide support for
it?)

I know nothing about l10n/i18n.  Do somebody need to do anything
special to get the translations out of the langpack?
Also, what about anything that was done through
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape ?

Sure, I'll make sure it gets done before bionic releases.

Bug#885108: inkscape: Consider dropping gnome-pkg-tools Build-Depends

2017-12-23 Thread Jeremy Bicha 
Package: inkscape
Version: 0.92.2-2
Severity: minor

inkscape was recently demoted to Ubuntu universe. (It appears to have
been kept in "main" a bit longer than necessary.)

Unless a package opts in or out, main packages participate in Ubuntu's
language packs and universe packages don't. I don't see a particular
reason to opt in here.

Therefore, feel free to drop the gnome-pkg-tools Build-Depends added
in inkscape 0.91-11. There's no urgency although I think we should at
least do a rebuild of inkscape in Ubuntu before 18.04 LTS is released.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
