That's a start, but it doesn't work. Dblatex 0.2.12 calls inkscape with the
wrong parameters:

E.g. if the file in the document is named images/foo.svg the call is:
inkscape -z -D "--export-pdf=/complete/path/to/images/foo.svg" fig2.pdf
Tt should be:
inkscape -z -D "/complete/path/to/images/foo.svg" --export-pdf=fig2.pdf

Also, I'd prefer -C (canvas) instead of -D (drawing), because I normally
have some stuff outside of the canvas, like objects of which clones appear
within the canvas. Is this tunable?

The pdf export from inkscape totally sucks, though (the resulting images
are normally broken and ugly). But that's not your fault.

A compromise would be (tunable?):
inkscape -z -C -d 300 -b '#ffffff' "/complete/path/to/images/foo.svg"
--export-png=fig2.png

It makes a 300dpi export of the canvas with a white background (I dimly
recall that transparent PNGs are broken in dblatex). This is much less than
optimal, but at least it should look decent in print.

In version 0.2.12, the patch #2821475 has been added: it can transform SVG
graphics with Inkscape to PDF. Is it this kind of support you expected to
have?

I second this. All my illustrations are SVG and it's kinda tiring to render
them into high res PNGs. Also the scaling of raster graphics is very ugly
in many PDF viewers.
