I'm not sure I follow - how is upstream supposed to "pick" those up?
These are packaging related and upstream doesn't do packaging after all.

The only non-packaging piece is the optirun script. I guess one can
teach BB about "glvnd" bridge. In that case, the daemon stays to do
power management and the executable correctly sets DRI_PRIME. None of
the fancy Xorg instances or Xorg config management.

In the primus(primus_vk*) case they are completely removed in favour
of compat script, since I don't want to annoy people.
Although if you prefer I can omit the compatibility scripts all together :-P

Thanks

*Realised that I did not open a bug about primus_vk, but it's
virtually identical to primus.
