I'm the maintainer of the libcairo library and have from time-to-time
packaged libgtkcairo for myself (I could probably refresh these). I also
look after other cairo deb preview packages at
http://cairographics.org/packages/debian/
The cairo API is not totally stable and needs careful updates with
it's dependencies and it's requirements, these are likely to change
over time as more backends are already under development (such as
glitz, already ITPed but upstream says is not ready for use).
I would prefer that this is co-ordinated closely with the libcairo
packaging since it will need close version dependencies and checks.
