Actually, this already happened with 0.92 (at least, building with
cmake);

now:

now, this is not really much an improvement over before, considering the
total space is quite unchanged, but splitting inkview doesn't make much
sense anymore, removing 23k won't solve anything.

I'm therefore closing this bug as wontfix for debian and ubuntu.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: inkscape

  The inkscape and inkview binaries are the largest on my Ubuntu 8.04
  system:

  $ ls -lk /usr/bin | sort -rn -k5 | head -n5
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    8042 2008-04-07 21:42 inkscape
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    8030 2008-04-07 21:42 inkview
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root   root    3685 2008-06-13 01:22 Xephyr

  Very large (8MB) inkview executable isn't needed for Inkscape - please
  package it separately or  use one of the following ways:

  I suspect that the inkscape and inkview binaries are > 90% identical.
  Would it be possible to eliminate one of them, and thereby save 8MB?
  Possible methods:

  - Two links to the same executable which checks argv[0].
  - An executable for inkscape and a script for inkview which calls inkscape with a view-only flag.
  - Two small executables and a shared library.
