It doesn't hurt for people to try to provide compatibility when the
changes are minor though.
It is nice to have the steam overlay around. Though, if things got
bad enough I imagine I'd take the time to figure out how to just get
Ubuntu+Steam working in a container. For binary packages sometimes it
is easier to just go the path of least resistance. Though, when X11
is involved containers aren't always painless.
