With a very short notice, the oregano upstream developers could track and fix
the problems with libcairo 0.1.0->0.4.0, also if a security bug arises they
would also help fixing it.

Shipping something that is not the *latest* (0.4.0 versus 0.5.0) is part of
what making an stable release means. I know that this library has already
been replaced, but so will many others be in the near future.
