No, it's not really correct. /usr/bin/cairosvg has currently 
#!/usr/bin/python2.7 (sic!) shebang, so it won't work out-of-the box if 
only python-ciarosvg is installed.

I would recommend you to get rid of the -common package and use 
alternatives to manage /usr/bin/cairosvg symlink, that would point 
either to #!/usr/bin/python or #!/usr/bin/python3 script.

Re fix_setup.patch, what was wrong with the original code?

Some dependencies are missing:

$ python -c 'import cairosvg'
Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cairosvg/__init__.py", line 27, in <module>
      from . import surface
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cairosvg/surface/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
      import cairo
ImportError: No module named cairo
