After a closer look at cairo's versioning scheme, it has become clear that packaging 1.15.8 is not directly an option, as odd numbers there indicate snapshots rather than releases. Nevertheless, I gave it a try (turned out that taking the snapshot as a new orig tarball takes no more than the usual merging/changelogging/patch-refreshing, plus a few new symbols), and indeed the issue is fixed in "1.15.8-0.1". Maintainers, if having something like that in experimental is appealing to you, I can push branches upstream-experimental-snapshots and experimental-snapshots and a tag upstream-experimental-snapshots/1.15.8 to collab-maint (or to another place or with other names depending on how you manage those things).
