So, looking at the code in both cairo and gimp, it is pretty clear the patch from gimp upstream is the only proper way to fix the issue, and that the code in 2.6.10 is clearly broken. As I would like to push cairo 1.10 in squeeze-backports, it would be helpful if we fixed this issue in squeeze. Daniel, do you want to prepare a NMU?
