Package: gnome-remote-desktop
Version: 44.2-8
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: kurkin.anton at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

I am trying to set up VNC server for my Gnome Wayland desktop and it seems like
gnome-remote-desktop sources has VNC backend (using libvncserver) but it has to
be enabled during the build.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/issues/144

As it is now only RDP is supported in the package. Fedora and Ubuntu seems to
have VNC backend enabled, if there is nothing preventing it from being enabled
in Debian, that would be extremely useful for me.

Best Regards,
Anton
