Agreed about targeting professionals... however wrt a PPA, if we know of a newer cairo to not have any (known) regressions, we can offer those too via "the" PPA or Suse's build service. I think we can offer the necessary dependencies just as many PPAs do. (of course, this involves us actually setting up an official PPA)
One big gotcha is that in general a PPA won't install in parallel, but instead overwrites the current version. For an app this is not as big of an issue, but stomping over a system library can have some 'interesting' effects for users and other apps.
