Is there a way to import a drawing into Inkscape ?
It can definitely be done with PNG images. File > Import.
Scanned images will probably be TIFFs. If Inkscape can't import them directly, you can convert them with the convert(1) program in the ImageMagick package.
Actually, Inkscape can import anything that is supported by your GDK Pixbuf installation. You can find a list in /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders. Here's a copy of mine.

PS - we do filter out SVG -- Inkscape handles that one on it's own ;)
