Thanks for the heads up. This has been added more than a year ago (revision 19212, Sep 12th, 2017, by renodr), with an explicit commit message telling it is required. But there has been a load of newer versions of GTK+3, so I guess the dependency could have been removed since then. Note that in addition to wayland, it may be a dependency on systemd. Note also that the doc for 3.24.3 does not mention any dependency on six nor on python.
