Old Cairo support enabled
Checking for CAIRO... Yes
*** WARNING: old Cairo versions (<1.14) have a serious issue with bitmap downscaling that severely affects Inkscape. This option is not suitable for creating distributable packages of Inkscape. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/whatever ***

This will help to ensure that users opt in to support of old versions, and hopefully packagers will not be tempted to break their users' experience of Inkscape. Those who *really* want to build 0.91 with broken image handling can still do so at their own peril.

Thanks a lot !

I use Kubuntu 14.04 and trunk PPA on two different partitions (in fact I
have two Kubuntu and one Crunchbang partitions and also a Win8
Virtualbox). Thus if I have any problem with one of my two Kubuntu I
will stop to upgrade my PPA on the other one.

In fact I don't use bitmap a lot, but I would test the svg filters on
them as soon as possible after Cairo and Inkscape will be upgraded.
