Yes, well, the paint device is in krita/image -- and that part of krita 
shouldn't depend on libs/flake. This part of the shape selection code really 
needs untangling so all the shape-based parts can go into krita/ui. The image 
part of krita doesn't need to know about the shapes, only about the grayscale 
rasterization of the shapes, similar to the way krita/image doesn't know 
anything about shape layers, but can still composit them in the image.

The selection has a parent paint device, which has a reference to the image -- 
you can probably use that.
