Purpose of 50627 was to reduce dependency on wayland-protocols
from
other packages.
As far as I understand, this one is to reduce dependencies of
wayland-protocols itself.
As far as I know, there is no binary output of wayland-protocols,
and wayland maybe needed as dependency for testing purposes only.
IMHO these tests are targeted for developers producing protocol
specifications. Once protocol specification is ready
wayland-protocols is released. So running tests on
wayland-protocols should be pointless waste of resources, as they
don't prove that anything useful, instead dependents should
test themselves. If testing causing waste of space and resources
I would turn them off or probably use copy-build-system even.
