This will probably still (temporarily) break a few setups as it obviously doesn't apply if extraPackages was overridden but IMO it's still the best option (e.g. compared to forcing these packages, introducing additional options, ...).

(Also, I use Sway as a daily driver. It's mostly okay, I'm willing to make compromises to get Wayland+mixed DPI support) |
Motivation for this change
Will be released in ~3h and since a few things changed I decided to test it in advance.
