Thanks, I did not remember that thread. Bottom line: any code
that generates graphics and does not use cairo should be
considered legacy and ultimately replaced.
 
Unfortunately, for example the recent gsch2pdf code relies
on cairo 1.10 at least, which is not yet in debian-stable.
I also think that I hit a bug (probably in libgeda) on a 
non-x86 machine: the output pdf scale depends on the directory 
in which symbols are found. It looks like a wild pointer/memory
corruption, but I won't be able to debug more before early
November.
