Iain, could you say what exactly the reasons are for not wanting the gtk
package to depend on a wayland package?

I posted about this problem here:  
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2013-January/006888.html
A couple people have said what they think the reasons are in replies.  It would 
be good to be sure, to help figure out a solution.

It might help to say what the reason is for having wayland conflict with
proprietary drivers.  I recognize weston (the reference wayland
implementation) won't run on those drivers.  But I'm not sure why its
package would conflict with them (and I'm having difficulty checking
what the conflicts actually are).  But you could have the weston package
conflict with those proprietary drivers, but have libwayland
installable, and then be able to run gtk with a dependency on
libwayland?
