That's probably because of LSB compliance. As has been
discussed
previously, someone needs to split the lsb package in
server-side
stuff and other stuff (yes that would mean a system that used
only the
first part would not be fully lsb compliant)
LSB requests qt?
The LSB Desktop specs[1] requires them.
The LSB Core specs[2] don't.
I'd say this is a badly packaged package, which is in dire need of being
split ;)
Even on machines where I never run an X display on the console, I often
find it extremely handy to have wireshark-gnome installed and run it via
ssh port-forwarding. Likewise I might want to install VMware server
which needs X libs and perhaps a few other things on a machine that
doesn't run X on the console. And on some other machines that I would
still classify as servers I run a whole desktop environment (or several)
remotely via freenx. Are the packages split so you can easily get the X
libs, fonts, etc., without hardware related components?
