Ubuntu said they're not willing to have their GTK+ package depend on a
Wayland package (when using GTK+ only with X), requesting the Wayland
backend be moved out to a dynamically loadable library:

(Comment 61 on.)

GTK+ said "No":  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690381


How should this work in major binary package based distros?
