  Hi all,

  The changes to the docs I checked in this morning include a figure
drawn in Inkscape.  Because SVG renderers aren't especially prevalent
yet and often don't render the same drawing the same way, I decided to
"compile" the SVG to a .png when generating the documentation, and I
decided to use Inkscape (since I know it'll produce something that
looks like what I drew).  That means that as of the current head
revision, you need to install Inkscape to compile the aptitude
documentation.

  Daniel
