d-devlibdeps basically contains a manual mapping to the -dev packages
in such cases, this is horribly fragile.
In this specific case the root problem is that using pango results in
needlessly linking with libfribidi, which can also become annoying for
transitions.
This would otherwise not be a FTBFS-causing RC bug, but it is an easily
fixable bug that should be fixed.
