I remember the idea.

Basically, the idea was to split so that servers using VLC to do
streaming wouldn't need libX11 and all the rest.

otherwise I'd expect the Makefiles to be a bit more helpful with
determining this. J-B, I'd like you to confirm if I'm right here.

This idea indeed failed, because libavcodec, one of the main codec
library, can depend on vdpau/vaapi, and both of those acceleration
libraries thought it was cool to use libX11...
Therefore, a vlc-noX wouldn't have avcodec plugin...

I've rechecked, and I have to express my misunderstanding of Debian packaging (I will improve, I promise), and it seems your libavcodec55, depends on libva1 (https://packages.debian.org/sid/libavcodec55), but that libva1 only rec the va-driver-all or va-driver and therefore does not hard-depend on libX11.

So, vlc-noX should work still without libX11...
