Just wondering if we've got an established

upgrading the various rendering and rasterizing dependencies, such as
librsvg, ImageMagick, etc. on a regular basis?
Not really, at the moment. :P :)
I ask because
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10207
("Upgrade librsvg to version 2.18.0", which was also a request for
2.16.0) doesn't strike me as something we should need to repeat each
time a new version comes out.
librsvg upgrades, in particular, are useful, because they often fix
various upstream SVG rasterization bugs.
We'll have to make sure it doesn't interfere with other packages on the
new Ubuntu setup, but hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to keep up that
way.
