Indeed, there is no need for two -dev packages, is there? Only two pc
files and two libs, right?

The only difference between the pc files would be the Libs: line,
which brings us (somewhat) back to the original point that gtk will
have to be patched to use the cairo-direcfb.pc file while there can be
only one -dev package:

So, this line
Libs:  -L${libdir} -lcairo

will look like
Libs:  -L${libdir} -lcairo-directfb

for the cairo-directfb.pc file.
