   @YaLTeR IIRC when xz thing happened there was a suggestion by systemd devs to create a special section to list runtime dependencies, so that they can be seen by package managers.
   
   Not sure if it was completed or even supported anywhere.

     Due to some Rust feature unification reasons, some builds of niri will load libwayland-server via dlopen rather than dynamic linking, hiding this dependency from build errors and from autodetection by rpm. This frequently just happens to work since libwayland-server is usually installed from other compositors.

     A few lucky users however did hit the runtime panic trying to run niri while missing libwayland-server, making this a rare legitimate case of a "did not install Wayland" problem
