That's why xftcache is in xbase-clients. xutils is for programs the X Window System provides that do not depend on any of the X Window System's libraries (except where they merit a package of their own). xbase-clients is for programs the X Window System provides that *do* depend on any of the X Window System's libraries (except where they merit a package of their own). I am probably not going to act on this report unless you can make a more persuasive case. Such a case would probably involve changes to the Debian Policy Manual. -- G.
