it's absolutely fine to use SVG graphics in recent days and if ever
possible we should use them natively. The world is using more and more
HTML5!
The Debian websites due mostly heavily lack on a mobile friendly face.
To get this working we will need graphics that scale smoothly and please
no special hacks within the HTML source to solve various demands. SVG
graphics are solving this specific need perfectly.

This turns more into a chicken egg problem in a longer view, or in my
eyes, we should solve problems on the ride side or more correctly.
Means, we need a strategy how the websites should evolve within the next
five years for example.
The Debian website is growing every day and by this the load and time to
build the whole website is also growing constantly. At one day we need
to think about this circumstance.
We currently using still DTD HTML 4.01 Strict for the websites and not
something more up to date, but this has of course some reason.

This would be a workaround in my eyes instead of solving the root of the
problem.
How can I run this tidy thing locally so I can try to narrow down the issue?

I'd like to see we do not convert SVG to PNG here because this is a step
back in my eyes, especially as we need to take the advantage of getting
all sites mobile ready one day and this shouldn't be done by graphics
and logos with some other formats than SVG as this will always result in
higher data rates to transfer.
