You clearly have the version wrong, since libxine1-x is only available
in 1.1.8-2.

This is not necessarily because of the xine-lib source package, but
because of apt now installing recommends by default. If you really care
about all this stuff not being installed by default, you need to track
down the dependency graph of recommends, and file bugs to demote
respective recommends to suggest. (And I'm sure there are bugs to be
filed here).

Have you tried manually installing/upgrading libxine1-misc before the
dist-upgrade? It should be possible now to install xine without that
load of additional packages you mentioned above. Since you really want a
minimal system, I'd suggest you to configure apt to not install
recommends.

Do you agree that this bug can just be closed?
