When reading a commit log, I am not that interested about the reason
why a new package is introduced. Someone has a need for it, and that's
enough. Having it after a --- line would be probably OK in this case.

What I really like to read however, is the peculiarity of the packaging,
if any.

For example, here, you would explain why the host variant is required.

Sort alphabetically, please. '-' sorts before 'p'.

(Meh, I'm nitpicking, but we never said what locale to sort in, so
I say ASCII! ;-] )

wayland also requires threads and !static.

So, an EGL/wayland provider is required for the target variant, but what
about the host variant? What happens if the system does not have one?

What is the host variant needed for?

Blank line between HOST_WAYLANDPP_CONF_OPTS and WAYLANDPP_CONF_OPTS.

OK, host variant builds a scanner...

That is used ehre. Makes sense somehow.

Do we need to set something like:

    WAYLANDPP_SCANNER = $(HOST_DIR)/bin/wayland-scanner++

for other packages to use?

(I'm also wondering the same about wayland-scanner.)
