Yes, that's fine (we won't automatically sync from experimental, but I
assume whoever did that sync will continue tracking it).  We have a few more
reverse-dependencies in Ubuntu so it will take more work for that sync to be
able to reach the release pocket, but I've already uploaded this delta to
Ubuntu to take care of the uninstallability, so it won't block us getting
this issue fixed in Ubuntu.

$ reverse-depends libpango1.0-0
