I'm not really in favor of this ITP, as it mainly seems as a
wring reaction to the latex extension not working properly.

All main inkscape extensions are maintained within the upstream repo as
the extension interface is used to change a lot between each release,
and so they could broke often. You should talk to textext upstream to
better integrate with inkscape upstream.

What is surely missing is a better separation of inkscape core and all
other extensions, which was already proposed for 0.47 but not yet
realized.

I definitely would not welcome a one-package-per-extension policy, that
is the field where your package is currently going.

Thus I'm suggesting you to drop this ITP, work with Wolfram (which
currently seems a bit busy) to fix the other two related bugs, suggest
your upstream to get in touch with Inkscape developers to integrate the
extension avoiding duplicate code and maybe start discussing a better
extensions packaging (which would be really appreciate, IMHO).

Cheers, Luca
