But then please make it "telegram-no-pipewire-bin" so it is clearly
visible that this is packaged from precompiled binaries. My expectation
for a "telegram-no-pipewire" PKGBUILD would be that this is basically
the official Arch PKGBUILD with slightly different configure params to
drop dependencies the author for some reasons did not want to have.
