Nothing actually changed in that version of alacritty except that some
dependencies were updated.  The update of smithay-client-toolkit from
0.16.0 to 0.16.1 is the relevant change and we already have 0.16.1 sctk
packaged.  I'll see about getting a binNMU triggered for alacritty,
which should address this.
