So, the question is, do you believe that cairo 1.2.0 is etch material or not ?
And would you be willing to maintain (or co-maintain) a version of cairo 1.1.x
which only produces the directfb backend, including a .udeb, as well as a .deb
and a -dev .deb ?
This is what g-i needs to move on to 2.8 gtk-dfb.
