Yep, but i guess it will still be a week or two before things return to
normal. Please add a (Close: #<ITP-bug number>) in one of the changelogs
(the cairo one), so the ITP will be closed with the upload.

Also i don't really like the fact that cairo comes in loads of small
libraries, and i guess the ftp-masters, once they are ready to look at
it again, maybe in a month or so, will like it too, but let's see about
that.

Please add the Closes: entry in the changelog of libcairo, and also
change all the unstable entries in the changelog to experimental.
