You are right for libglib-jni. I am annoyed that installing a -jni package
pulls in -dev package. Maybe I should have put headers, .so symlink and
.pc into a separate package, e.g. lib$p-jni-dev? There are already five
binary package for every Java-Gnome source package, so that's maybe too
much to add another one.

For libcairo-jni, I agree with the dependency on libglib-java, but I am
not sure for the dependency on libcairo2-dev: libcairo-jni does not
contain any header requiring another one from libcairo2-dev. That might
be an error in the .pc file.

I need to think about these problems again, thanks for pointing this
out.

Regards,

Thomas
