I just sent a patch to ml, adding libffi as a DEPENDS. But maybe I was
acting hastily here. Are you
suggesting that we should only generate those packages that correspond to
actually enabled distro features ?
If it is possible, I could try and do it like that, since that would also
get rid of the buildhistory churn I'm getting.
(Since I'm not using Wayland)
