Oh, I'm sorry but this isn't going to be possible.

Extra backends get compiled right into GDK. This means that libgtk-3-0 gets a dependency on wayland and libxkbcommon and there's no way to split it out. It would always have been difficult to get wayland into main as a build dep of GTK, but it really won't be possible to have GTK+ depending on wayland.

Sorry. I suggest you keep on going with a PPA if folks want to use GTK+3 in Ubuntu with its wayland backend.
