Maybe is a better idea to just remove wayland from the moduleset and add the dev packages to the script install-dependencies?

My experience with this is that building for a different version of Wayland than the one that will be used by the compositor at run-time usually causes issues.

On the GTK+ port JHBuild moduleset we only build wayland and weston _if_ the system wayland is not new enough (via <pkg-config> entries), otherwise we use the one from the system. That is required because the GTK+ default build relies on wayland, and we want to support building on systems that don't have new enough wayland.

However the WPE port is different, one one hand the build doesn't depend directly on Wayland directly (it depends on which backend you will use), on the other hand the layout tests currently run headless using the surfaceless/GBM EGL platform, so I don't think the version of Wayland will affect the output of them in any case.

My vote is to just remove it and rely on the system wayland.
