Actually installing libqt5svg5 is enough, python3-pyqt5.qtsvg is not
necessary.

libqt5gui5 already recommends libqt5svg5; it cannot be a hard dependency
because that would mean a dependency loop. In Ubuntu recommendations are
installed by default so most people who install Qt apps will have libqt5svg5
installed too.
