>From upstream's gobject-introspection project, it's clear that cairo support is
only required to enable some tests[0]. For people who just build this package
as part of other pulled-in dependencies, or build minimal package repositories
without graphics or X11 support, this unnecessary dependency on cairo brings in
a ton of X11 dependencies as well.

Can we make graphics/cairo an optional dependency through an OPTIONS define?
One that IMPLIES TESTS support as well? If help is needed on this, I can submit
a patch.
