The underlying issue is tracked in
- Bug #171795 “Don't rasterize linked SVG with <image>”:
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171795>

AFAIU the two reports tracked related, but different issues: the underlying issue is bug #171795, whereas this one tracked issues with the current state (<img> references to SVG documents are rendered via gkd-pixbif loader) due to packaging of Inkscape outside of linux. If this report now gets reinterpreted as being about the underlying issue, I think it should better be marked as duplicate of bug #171795 (than having two separate reports now tracking the same underlying issue)
