You might be interested in bug #205346
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205346
which is the WNPP for cairo.

I've been building Mono cvs against it for months, and
as part of that, the libgdiplus against the above cairo
debs.  The current (going in today) sid packages for mono
don't link against the latest cairo sources and use the obsolete
libic, libpixregion that are replaced with libpixman.  At least
that's what I found when I tried the earlier ones hosted off alioth.

Happy to coordinate to get this all working.
