I checked, `mutter` currently depends on pipewire 0.2 and does
not build with 0.3.

All that's needed is for xdg-desktop-portal and a backend to be installed
in the profile alongside flatpak. To improve the user experience, I
guess it would be good to make them a propagated dependency, yes. I
didn't do so myself since I wasn't sure if it was worth propagating
extra packages which aren't strictly necessary.

Great, thanks!
