Ah, wasn't expecting to have to declare a dependency in order to inspect
its variants. I figured anything that's installed was up for inspection.

Since gtksourceview3 depends on gtk3 but lacks a matching x11 variant, I
had wanted to check them all directly without "duplicating" gtk3 dependency.

Will give this a shot and see if it improves the user's failed build.

Hoping something good happens. :-)
