Currently, there is a circular dependency between libpango1.0-0 and
libpango1.0-common. This is why by chance your package works while not
depending on libpango1.0-common. However this circular dependency will -
hopefully soon - be fixed in pango and your package will stop working.

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

No, this is probably because the module doesn't link directly to one of
the libpango*-1.0.so.0 libraries. You can check the output of 'ldd -r
yourmodule.so' for unresolved symbols.

If there are no missing symbols, this is harmless, because
libpango1.0-common will still depend on libpango1.0-0.

It's actually caused by a bug in upstream configure script
(which is also maintained by me).

As upstream maintainer, I would like to fix this by releasing
a new upstream version, which has also gathered some
other fixes to time. And as debian package maintainer, I
would like to wait for that, rather than patching the package
and getting overridden very soon.

That means it may take a couple of days before this bug
is fixed.
