Yes; my proposal is to use weston-launch to hide the real binary and
call it internally. This allows for everyone using weston-launch (even
on terminal or serial console) to benefit from it otherwise people
will be aware of the custom script.

In your proposal, the weston recipe would also install the extra script when the XWayland package is specified. Since the same XWayland package mechanism is used in both cases, the benefit of the extra script isn't clear to me.

Because it would allow for same distro to generate one XWayland based
image[1] and another pure Wayland image[2].

1. xserver-xorg-xwayland (a) -> weston-module-xwayland (b)

   So (a) includes the inner script which says to weston-launch
wrapper to load the xwayland.so module. (b) is split out from normal
weston package so it avoids unneeded runtime dependencies.

2. weston

  weston includes just the normal weston bits so allowing pure Weston
images without manual changes.
