[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi, I thought propagation inputs are for letting dependent packages to be
able to automatically add this input to its dependency list, like, say,
glib as a propagation input for gtk+ as all gtk+ [programs has glib as an
input or dependency.  xcb-util-renderutil seems to have a similar role for
wlroots.

If this is not correct, please file a patch to change it, and merge it.
