The SRPM probably does not need the .png files, nor the .txt metadata
summary for each image.  Those things ultimately derive from the .svg
files and can be generated from them.  However, the tools package is
needed to do said generating.

Also it is noteworthy that the tools package has some dependencies,
that probably ought to be specified.  Among them...

* Inkscape (used for generating the thumbnails)
* Perl Modules from the CPAN:
  * SVG::Metadata (most of the tools need this one)
  * File::Spec::Functions
  * DateTime
