There is no such version. You are reporting against Debian, please use
proper versions existing there.


Also you are reporting against a obsolete version which doesn't exist
anymore (and in stable stuff like this won't be changed):

$ rmadison libgraphite2-dev

Because upstream doesn't build one in their standard build and I didn't
bother to manually build it as in your patch ...

.. as I am not sure. Why would people want to statically build against

libgraphite2.a anyways?

Ah, this explains it. If you use Ubuntu please do some care to make a correct Debian bug report.
