The glew-wayland package conflicts with glew, forcing you to have to uninstall glew to install glew-wayland, but apps that use glew won't install now as they cannot met their dependency.

I saw in another bug that not providing glew was intentional as the plan was to create a glew-x11 and glew-wayland dependencies as there maybe some non-overlapping use cases, I personally would prefer to be able to override one with the other if possible, IE force apps to use glew-wayland to attempt speed increases, but that doesn't sound like a good default practice for everyone else.
This task depends upon
