I'm just thinking that probably people won't actually do it. That's what happened for arm64: see commit ea37896526075fb9d0f453ec537536149ea97d16 which copied over the gtk configuration, but left speakup/sound commented, most probably just because the package was not available, and only now, 4 years later, we notice the missing feature.
