Sure :-) I am deferring this change to post-bullseye at the moment, to
avoid even more last minute changes.
But it's on the todo list for when bullseye is released. The only
annoying thing which I don't really like is that once rsvg builds and
works on the architectures that currently don't have it, people need
to walk through the dependency chain to re-enable all the bits that
were previously disabled.
But since appstream is a dependency of quite a lot of stuf that
doesn't necessarily need the compose library, not building it for
bootstrapping new architectures is probably a desired feature anyway.
Cheers,
Matthias
