Bug Description
* Impact
That's the current GNOME stable update, which fixes a number of issues, including a regression[1] since librsvg 2.40.x which was shipped in Ubuntu 16.04. The NEWS file[2] summarizes the relevant changes between Ubuntu 20.04's current librsvg 2.48.7 (that version was also introduced by an SRU back in July[3]) and the current version 2.48.9. The complete list of changes is available on GNOME GitLab[4].
* Test case
The update is part of GNOME stable updates[5].
Smoke testing by opening SVG images with eog or importing them with gimp can be performed to ensure there are no regressions.
* Regression potential
This is a bugfix-only stable micro-release, however librsvg is a core component with a number of reverse dependencies. A combination of autopkgtests and manual smoke testing to try and detect SVG rendering issues should be performed.
* Notes about this report
This is my first SRU request (and at the same time my first launchpad bug report). I'm not really familiar with the whole SRU process which is why I first asked about it on Ubuntu's official discourse forum[6]. Canonical's Sebastien Bacher encouraged me to open this ticket. I've copied over some parts of the last librsvg SRU ticket[3]. I hope this is fine.
Thanks for considering this SRU.

Thank you for the bug report!
Olivier, assigning to you since you usually do the librsvg updates, would be great if you could SRU this one
