It's not installed on my system by default. It unfortunately gets installed only when I try to pull ffmpeg, which in turn pull sdl, which depends on libx11, which depends on... libxcb. Linux is not only used by desktop. Debian (for example) might want to provide a ffmpeg-nox11 (just like vim-nox11), or maybe would consider having these optionnal (runtime detected, assuming it would be possible). The thing is, an encoding node doesn't need to have an X11 dependency. And so packagers would need to disable it explicitly, which is insane considering the target of FFmpeg. [...] -- Clément B.
