Thanks.

I don't think we can remove the old Inkscape, because 'inkscape' is an
input of 'dblatex/stable', which 'gtk-doc/stable' depends on.

There might or might not be other reasons to keep an older version of
'inkscape' around, but either way, if 'gtk-doc/stable' depends on
Inkscape, I think we'd better have an 'inkscape/stable' too, so that our
'inkscape' package can be freely updated on 'master'.

Going forward, if it turns out that Inkscape is not truly needed as an
input to 'dblatex/stable', and moreover, if _nothing_ deep in our stack
truly needs to depend on Inkscape, then we could perhaps eliminate
'inkscape/stable' altogether.  However, that would need to happen on
either 'core-updates' or 'staging' (or similar), because changing
'dblatex/stable' entails too many rebuilds.

What do you think?

    Thanks,
      Mark
