Actually, there's a reason for (at least) libice6 to keep a dependency:
/etc/init.d/x11-common sets up the /tmp/.ICE-unix directory.
Anyway, next upload of the

The easy and obvious fix is to just ship this with xserver-xorg instead. To

Greetings,
The setuid usr/bin/X binary should not be shipped with x11-common
because it's not *needed* for X11 clients. That by itself is a good

We are not going to remove the SUID bit because of this. The actual

Hi,
x11-common installs the /usr/bin/X wrapper with SUID root permissions:
