It has -Dauto_features=enabled, so it should already be enabled for Linux
non-udeb builds? The amd64 buildd log says:

  Features
    Vulkan support      : true

(But it's intentional that it's disabled for the udeb build, along
with many other normal features like Wayland and GStreamer. If we ever
manage to get d-i moved to Gtk 3 and then Gtk 4, we're unlikely to get
a libvulkan1-udeb.)
