Does it? I was unable to locate any dependencies in lxde or xpdf that might form such a mutual exclusion. What was the actual error message you got?

[...] I am certain almost nobody would object to that proposal. But it would need a notable number of people to step up and act as package maintainers to accomplish the task, namely to cut down to a tolerable size that giant maze of dependencies created by generations of Debian maintainers. "Fun" fact: Looking for a possible reason for your apparent problem I stumbled upon that gem: The lxde package depends on, among others, galculator and gpicview. Seriously, WTF?
