I've queued up enabling the broadway backend for the next upload.

The size of gtk4-broadwayd itself is insignificant, and adding a
separate binary package would require waiting an unknown length of
time for approval from the archive administrators, so this isn't really
worth splitting. The part of this feature request that has a potentially
significant size cost is enabling the broadway backend in the GTK shared
library, without which gtk4-broadwayd would be useless, and that can't
be a separate package: it's part of the same library as the Wayland and
X11 backends.
