Yes there are people still using libsvga support and there even are
packages that depend on it like bmv (a postscript viewer for console
that is maintained by me and that is still actively developed).
Therefore, please do not remove libsvga support before there is another
option for previewing postscript files on the console (e.g. via framebuffer),
since this would take away an important functionality from console only users!!!
