Well, I stand corrected. It turns out librsvg 2.42.3 requires (via pkgconfig) freetype2 >= 20.0.14 which is the pkgconfig version returned by freetype 2.8. Perhaps a typo in their NEWS item. The versioning does seem to be a bit confusing.
So not an urgent item because of librsvg 2.42.3 which builds correctly and tests with only one failure out of 128 SVGs.
