The ttf-arphic-bkai00mp + other fonts definitely don't need xutils
installed to be useful. We use it in conjunction with ghostscript
for making postscript/PDF files, and the dependency on xutils meant that
when we upgraded to lenny, dozens and dozens of X11 related packages had
to be installed.

Eg
xutils dependencies include x11-utils (which has dependendencies including
libgl1-mesa-glx) and x11-xserver-utils (which seems to drag in half
the xorg libraries).

If I twiddle the ttf-* packages so that they don't depend on xutils,
all our headless stuff still works and I can get rid of all the xorg
libraries without any ill effect.

I think the severity on this bug should be higher than 'wishlist'...
