There is also vim. I guess it is not exactly the same split, but it
seems to be split to keep a minimal vim-minimal.

In my opinion it would be right to build 2 versions of all the packages
that have a console version and a X version to minimize deps for the
console version, such that it may be installed on X-less computers. 
It is really not pointless, I don't install X and even less gtk on some
servers, and I may want emacs (now I use vi, but I used emacs in the
past ;-). This is not going to be a lot of packages anyway.
