Package: maxima Version: 5.9.1-7
the X dependence, via the (also large) tk dependence, is *only* for the one file... the xmaxima tk/tcl GUI script, which is not required in order to access the maxima symbolic engine itself.
there are alternative GUIs to the xmaxima script (such as TeXMacs and Emacs maxima/imaxima modes), and also command line mode is available from the maxima lisp-based engine itself... X is certainly not a requirement for this package to be fully functional as a symbolic package!
i request that maxima be split into 2 packages... maxima (containing the engine) and maxima-xmaxima (containing just the xmaxima tk script).
