    Backports #33217 to the 29.x branch. Same rationale as #33217. xinerama was obseleted well before it’s removal in Qt6.
  2. depends: remove xinerama extension from libxcb
    This is listed on https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.15/linux-requirements.html as
    "recommended", however doesn't seem to be needed, and the fact that it's
    no-longer installed by default on modern linux distros, is
    annoying/confusing for users. See:

    Guess we can’t backport this unless we also backport the removal in Qt. Will take a look.
