Inkscape appears to be pretty powerful when one knows how to use it.
It's always added to my setups even though I barely touch it. Just
waiting for time to follow a good how-to step by step.
I just tried an "apt-cache search poster" query. Received "poster" and
"shanty" back. Mentioning in case someone knows of them or can help
test drive them for informational purposes. They appear to be command
line tools, and both have manpages for flags and such.
