Well, from what I have seen, rust is a bear to bootstrap (once a 
fortnight), and I can certainly think of machines that will run Xsane, 
Netsurf, Gnumeric, or MATE, but not build rust in any acceptable time.

Unless (until) the C based version gets de-supported by the depending 
packages, I would suggest providing librsvg-c, both port-based and as a 
user-settable option.

Cheerio,
