yes this change could be made, but this would require a patch to be made to
gtk+2.0-directfb (udeb)'s configure to use pkgconfig cairo-directfb rather
than pkgconfig cairo. Is that correct?
Hmm, thining again at the problem...
We are using now the same source for building the -directfb and the
regular cairo, right?
The compilation of the libs is made from exactly the same code, but is
just configured differently, right?
If that is true, then the headers should not be different and the
information in the pc can point to the two cairo libs which will be in
/usr/lib/ no problems.
Thus, probably the packages will exclude libcairo-directfb-dev because
the relevant info will be in libcairo-dev
Please, someone correct me if I am wrong (because I wonder if strange
things will happen like confusion when a package will try to link to
either of the libs?!)
