xpyb is an unmaintained piece of shit that periodically breaks. In bug 649876, maksbotan noted that only pycairo (which until recently was in the same unmaintained-piece-of-shit category :) depends on xpyb, and only with the xcb USE flag enabled -- and most importantly nothing in the tree depends on pycairo[xcb]. We'd love it if we could just drop this flag from pycairo and rid ourselves of the hassle of keeping up with xpyb breakages. Pretty please?
