This problem in fact needs an updated liblasi -> pango -> cairo.
There is no need for a respin of graphviz as the sonames stay the same.

There is currently a discussion about package renaming, but this
does not affect the release of graphviz as explained above.
An updated pango will be released in the next few days.

ImageMagick has already been rebuild and put in
  /home/experimental/graphviz
to be released _together in one batch_.

I don't think you need another rebuild of graphviz.

What is missing for a release is pstoedit by Peter Felecan, which is needed
because of the imagemagick rebuild. It is in progress right now. When
Peter has delivered this to /home/experimental/graphbiz you can
release all packages together immediately I would say.
