I also use startx on buster systems, but i don't have
xserver-xorg-legacy installed, so i think this is not the strict
dependency it sounded like originally. I know that i used to depend on
a setuid X server, so i'm gratefuly to the folks who did the work to
remove that setuid requirement!
Anyway, i think we're pretty far off-topic here, so i'll drop off this
thread, just wanted to confirm that i hadn't missed something.
all the best,
