Bug description:
Binary package hint: inkscape
The inkscape and inkview binaries are the largest on my Ubuntu 8.04
system:
$ ls -lk /usr/bin | sort -rn -k5 | head -n5
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8042 2008-04-07 21:42 inkscape
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8030 2008-04-07 21:42 inkview
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3685 2008-06-13 01:22 Xephyr

Very large (8MB) inkview executable isn't needed for Inkscape - please
package it separately or use one of the following ways:
I suspect that the inkscape and inkview binaries are > 90% identical.
Would it be possible to eliminate one of them, and thereby save 8MB?
Possible methods:
- Two links to the same executable which checks argv[0].
- An executable for inkscape and a script for inkview which calls inkscape
with a view-only flag.
- Two small executables and a shared library.
