[bug#59829] [PATCH core-updates] gnu: wlroots: Add propagated input xcb-util-renderutil

[Andy Tai]

Hi, I thought propagation inputs are for letting dependent packages to be able to automatically add this input to its dependency list, like, say, glib as a propagation input for gtk+ as all gtk+ [programs has glib as an input or dependency.  xcb-util-renderutil seems to have a similar role for wlroots.

If this is not correct, please file a patch to change it, and merge it.

Could you explain why this propagation is required?  Because propagation
should be avoid at first and it should be used when no other option are
possible, IMHO.
