I believe this is already done. Please check debian/control for both sysprof and gtk4. For sysprof, GTK4 is only a build dependency on a specific list of architectures. Additionally, there is a pkg.sysprof.nogui build profile to disable that even for those architectures. For GTK4, there is a specific list of architectures for sysprof. Notably, GTK4 and other libraries with a sysprof build dependency only need libsysprof-capture-4-dev which does not need GTK4 and is built on many more architectures. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
