For instance, I've seen occasional mention that luit is useful with emacs.
But its source-code doesn't mention luit.
Actually (for better maintenance), the rest of x11-utils should be split up
because its upstream is a collection of tar-balls which introduce dependencies
unwanted by most users. In particular, this doesn't belong:
/usr/bin/xdriinfo
Since it's actually a problem with x11-utils, this bug should be reassigned.
