I looked at what Fedora does [0], and this is their list of packages, which is similar to what we do; it's not clear what 'emacs' alone does, it seems some GTK build without x11?

I guess we're mostly in line with people's expectations if coming from other distributions. [0] https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/emacs/ -- Thanks, Maxim
