Notes

tyhicks

inkscape in xenial and earlier embeds libpotrace (LP: #1156664) I don't see a public development tree for potrace but comment #42 of the Debian bug contains a broken out patch from the upstream potrace maintainer

mdeslaur

potrace in inkscape works on bitmaps already loaded, not arbitrary images. Marking as not-affected for inkscape.
