After having a chat with Daniel and Pekka, I realised that my plan
does not provide extra robustness that I through it would.

Namely: the idea was to enforce lockstep across client/server props to
distro packaging.

Most distributions mandate that the runtime version is the same (or
later) as the one used at build-time.
Still vast majority of distros, have no run-time package/dependency of
wayland-protocols (rightfully so), so that won't work.
Therefore the extra steps [of moving wl_drm, bumping version
requirement] do not buy us anything, but some potential disadvantages
:-\

So the idea goes in the bin.

The alternative route (as covered in the thread) might be painful, but
it seems like the only reasonable option.

Daniel, Pekka thanks again for the help!
