Maybe the dependency was only introduced in a recent version? It's
certainly there in Debian unstable, which is the only suite where adding
static libraries would be in-scope for Debian (other than experimental,
but there's currently no version of pango1.0 in experimental), for at
least amd64 and i386.

If this is something that works in unstable, then please do.
