The description of x-window-system-core explicitly says it's for use in
Depends, actually. It does say that it's for use in Depends for

Yeah, I was thinking about doing at least that much, but I couldn't figure
out a good way around the meta-package depending on another meta-package
thing. Build-Depends is a bit more straightforward.
