Bug Description
Binary package hint: graphviz
Graphviz-cairo is deprecated as gtk, pango and cairo support have been merged into graphviz since version 2.10 (in fact, the graphviz-cairo in gutsy doesn't work). Graphviz builds with gtk support if the dev libraries are available, so I am able to simply rebuild the package to get the plugin included in libgraphviz3.
It probably makes more sense to split it out into a separate package which replaces graphviz-cairo, though, to avoid making libgraphviz3 depend on gtk.

What is libgraphviz3??? (I'm a graphviz developer, but not a Ubuntiu user/developer.)
In the Fedora rpms the -Tgtk support is in the primary graphviz rpm, but provided by a separate plugin, so
it would be trivial to provide a separate graphviz-gtk rpm is that was important.
Do any systems recent enough to include pango, cairo, actually not have gtk ? Or is it the Xlib dependency
that you want separated out?
