It depends on only a few X11 client libraries with a total installed size of less than 2 megabytes. Including your own clisp will almost certainly lead to a larger waste of space than this. Debian policy (ยง11.8.1) explicitly requires that packages that _can_ be configured to use X _must_ be. The rationale is that the overhead of having some unused X client libraries on a system is too small to offset the adminstrative hell it would be to maintain versions with and versions without X in parallel. This reasoning also holds if the "version without" is internal to third package. -- Henning Makholm "Det er du nok fandens ene om at mene.
