Hi,

Does the rationale for having a separate inkscape/stable [1] still hold?

On my system, the only noticable result is that inkscape is rebuilt
twice every time I update.  Thanks!

Kind regards
Felix

Yes.  dblatex still depends on inkscape, and thousands of packages
directly or indirectly depend on dblatex.   We use inkscape/stable as a
native input only.  This allows us to update inkscape when necessary
without fear of triggering thousands of rebuilds.
