Applied!

However, I wonder if this should not be split into several packages,
rather than several outputs.  The main reason is that merely building
fcitx5-gtk now requires pulling all three GTK+ versions, and GTK4 has a
lot more dependencies, some of which may be unavailable on platforms
other than x86_64.

WDYT?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
