Yes it's in the official (development) releases 1.1.x but remains unsupported/experimental. The next 1.2.0 stable release will include it, but it will remain unsupported; it might not even be updated for recent Cairo git changes. > The only reasonable option i see to updating official cairo to >= 1.1.2 > in unstable is maintaining custom 1.1.6 source package with DFB backed > enabled, until cairo 1.1.x enters unstable. I'm away from my debian boxes for a few more days but I have been intending to package cairo 1.1.x in debian's experimental with the cairo udeb, preparing for the long-delayed cairo 1.2.0.
