That's an option, but instead I've been pushing to get the rustc ports for
official Debian architectures fixed for some time already, anticipating that
this would eventually be a problem (as is the case now). Hopefully we can get
(some of) them ready soon (fsvo soon), and then update librsvg to 2.42.
