As written in the commit message, I removed it because Alacritty was
working without it here on my Gnome 3 Wayland session, hence the
"unneeded" part. What else was necessary?

Please bear in mind that:
1. it was not a small version bump, so many things could have changed in
   the package definition;

2. the hack is actually non-trivial as it references packages that do
   not even belong to the inputs but was not even a single comment line
   explaining its importance.

I'm sorry if you lost time re-instating this hack. OTOH, there is
certainly room for improvement in this situation.
