I even don't know much about pycairo in detail I just noted that it does
not compile in its current state and changed it to new style staging.
But I will check if it makes more sense to change the staging path to
${D}/${includedir} as I just copied what was already there in do_stage().

For me it should be ok to drop 1.4.0 and use 1.8.0 if nobody else uses
it. Btw. there is already a newer version of pycairo available. It's
1.8.10 but they changed it's name to py2cairo. pycairo is now the name
for the version with python 3.x support.

No, it's not. The latest version of cairo is 1.10.0 :) SHR is already
using this version ...
