I don't think it makes much sense for us (packaging guys for Debian/Ubuntu) to remove inkview from the main package.
Instead I wonder whether inkscape could grow a libinkscape shared library so that much of the common things shared between inkscape and inkview don't get duplicated.
I'm therefore considering this bug an "upstream" bug (and tagging it as so in the Debian ticket).
