I did not expect mounting USB drives in #debian #linux to be the hard part of this project, but
I successfully cut simple, nested and "dashed" objects on the #scanncut using #inkscape only (ie no #brother software other than the cutter itself) ("dashed" meaning I made the line dashed in inkscape and it came out perforated on the device)
As a note to future users (me):
1. Each svg *layer* shows up as a single *object* on the device. Each device-object is effectively already grouped regardless of what the inkscape-object was doing.
2. Perforated more than you think you need.
