Okay I checked for you. 1.3 should not be in unstable because it not
something that would ever be "released". Unstable is only for things
that are tracked to be released.
You might find 1.3 in expiremental, but the rules are nothing in stable
should be built against expiremental. However, pango is key to the
gnome infrastructure so there might be some "special" rules involved. :)
I don't know if that fully answers your question or helps you at all. I
would say if you are doing some development stuff where you this
bleeding edge it's probably worth using expiremental.
