Hello. I wanted to set up an X terminal (old Pentium 100) that will connect to remote xdm, and use remote xfs. I thought that the only X packages I need for the terminal are xfree86-common, xserver-common and xserver-xfree86.
But I wanted to configure the X terminal keyboard using xkb (as I usually do on workstation). To do so, /etc/X11/xkb/* files are needed. But those are in xlibs package, and xkbcomp program (used by X server on startup to compile xkb keymap) is in xbase-clients package. And xbase-clients depends on 5 more packages (including huge xlibmesa3). All those are completely uneeded on an X terminal that never should run any local apps. Maybe /etc/X11/xkb stuff should be moved to xserver-common or xfree86-common? P.S. Yes I know it is possible to setup X terminal keyboard by running xkbcomp from Xsetup on server side, but I believe it is ugly.
