That's suggests, not recommends, so it's not dragged in by default.
Hum, it probably should become a recommend IMHO, it's an important feature and it used to be available to most people (because libvte9 used to be installed by other apps like gnome-terminal, which now depends on libvte-2.90-9).
Why not just make it a hard dependency that's enabled by building against it at build time instead of dlopen()ing it?
