Docker-stacks: nbconvert failed: Inkscape svg to pdf conversion failed
I tried converting a trivial notebook (1 markdown cell, 1 code cell, ggplot output) on the latest jupyter/datascience-notebook image (tag: 97a5071c5775) to a PDF and it failed with a different error than the one in this issue: nbconvert failed: Inkscape svg to pdf conversion failed.
Reported in #99 but appears to be a new issue, not the same as the original report.

Manually doing apt-get install inkscape fixes the problem. We can throw it into minimal-notebook where pandoc and the other nbconvert prereqs are. Or we can put this only in images that use SVGs by default like r- and datascience-notebook.
I think the former is easier to reason about even though it bloats the minimal-notebook image by another ~30 MB.

Adding to minimal seems reasonable. I mean we are already adding TeXLive to it.
