On Debian Packages, at least, we can declare, basically, 3 levels of dependencies, according to http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-binarydeps

1) Depends - absolute dependency. Or else, packages that is strictly necessary to works well.
2) Recommends - strong, but not absolute dependency.
3) Suggests - used to declare that one package may be more useful with one or more others.

So, I think Inkscape would fit well as 'context' Suggests.

no, because not all users use svg (just an not all users use fonts defined in type-* files) and also because inkscape is close to impossible to install without x present which would render context 'unuseable due to a depency not being resolved'
