Hi,
Here's another vote for the splitup of xbase-clients. Not least because,
on a clean system, this happens:
% apt-get install xbase-clients
[...]
The following NEW packages will be installed:
defoma file fontconfig-config libdb4.4 libdrm2 libexpat1 libfontconfig1
libfs6 libgl1-mesa-glx libice6 libmagic1 libpng12-0 libsm6 libxaw7
libxcursor1 libxfixes3 libxft2 libxkbfile1 libxmu6 libxmuu1 libxpm4
libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6 libxv1 libxxf86dga1
libxxf86vm1 perl perl-modules ttf-dejavu ucf xbase-clients
[...]

Need to get 14,0MB of archives.
After unpacking 49,2MB of additional disk space will be used.
That's just horrible. The meaning of "base" in xbase-clients has been lost a
long time ago, I guess.
The split as outlined by Elrond in the submission of bug #332521 looks much
better than this. The split off of mesa-utils helped, but not sufficiently,
I guess.
I noticed that it's just xclock that pulls in all the font* stuff.
