I've applied some patches from Maxime and refined my understanding of
what this was about; it was not just about retaining a reference to
imagemagick listed from native-inputs, it was about retaining a
reference to imagemagick for the *stable* variant of inkscape/stable,
which meant we couldn't use the imagemagick/stable insecure variant.
Tentatively fixed in b4a6b1ba93844d7373c58237cb0b742352dec954 ("gnu:
inkscape/stable: Build stable variant without imagemagick support.")
which builds on a series from Maxime Devos. I haven't caught up with
rebuilding core-updates yet to validate it truly works, but we'll see
soon.
Thanks, Maxime!
