Is the required bit in question the python binding to librsvg2-2 and 
librsvg2-common?

I found reference to this being a seperate package under Fedora called
gnome-python2-rsvg.


I note that there is already request to split out gtksourceview.so, in 
which a comment also requests pyrsvg be split too.

What exactly does Sugar need from this package?
