I agree with you in principle that it might be good design to have a whole different piece of software whose job was SVG->PS or SVG->PDF. However, as far as I can tell, Scribus isn't going to fill that role, and I'm not aware of any other project that will. Scribus isn't cross-platform, it has no command-line interface AFAICT, at the moment it does not do a very good job on SVG->PDF, and I don't see any signs that they consider it to be part of their core mission to act as an automatic behind-the-scenes SVG->PDF converter that other programs can use library-fashion.
That's true, but Scribus claims that their PDF is the best on Linux. It's mostly SVG import that they are having problems with. Also they are an active project with a willingness to fix problems, so it always makes sense to report this to them.
