pangox-compat is the old Core X backend from Pango, which was split out from pango1.0 in 2012. A few packages still depend on it. It has been deprecated ever since it was split from Pango (probably earlier). It is very much unmaintained upstream, and essentially unmaintained in Debian too. Please don't use it. The Debian GNOME team has not always been very good at announcing deprecations, but better late than never... I'll open bugs blocking this one for the packages that still use it. When there are none left, pangox-compat can be removed. smcv
