In some sense "push" at least this functionality back again? Can I help on this? (Cc'ing Charles Plessy which did a part of the NMU for 0.46-2.lenny1). I'm not a Debian Developer nor a Debian Maintainer yet, so I think I cannot myself propose a NMU. (and then a unblock request to the release managers). If you agree, I would prepare a package inkscape_0.46-2.lenny2 applying the 05_fix_latex_patch.dpatch, and if you agree also one for unstable (0.46-3.1) as NMU.
