  Description     : Read-only viewer for Microsoft Visio files (.vsdx/.vsd)

VSDView is a GTK4/libadwaita application for viewing Microsoft Visio
diagrams (.vsdx and .vsd format). It provides interactive zoom, pan,
shape inspection, layer visibility control, SVG export, and search.

It uses libvisio-ng, a pure-Python Visio parser that handles themes,
gradients, shadows, and connector routing. libvisio-ng will be
packaged separately as a dependency.

There is currently no lightweight, dedicated Visio viewer in Debian.
LibreOffice can open .vsdx files but is a much heavier solution.
