Note: I didn’t find anywhere how to contribute changes to PKGBUILDs in the official repositories, so I hope that this is the right way…
I maintain packages in Alpine Linux, but I’m a newbie to Arch.

libglvnd means mesa, which means both libx11 and wayland are installed.

libxkbcommon is a dependency of libxkbcommon-x11 and is thus used by both.

The only difference between using wayland or using x11 is that for x11, 0.57 MiB worth of libxi libxinerama libxkbcommon-x11 is required. All wayland deps are redundant and included by mesa or by the x11 split package dep.

This change does not seem to accomplish anything useful, and greatly complicates packaging...

Okay, I will look at it again later.

What about the first patch (0001)?

Moving libcanberra to optional seems reasonable.

Note: it's incorrect to add it to makedepends, since it is not used at build time. The reason it is safe to move to optdepends is because it is dlopened at runtime. By the same token it doesn't actually require headers or a library to link against at build time.

Savings: 12.20 MiB across *17* packages.
