Hi Adam,

I've gone through (almost) every package I could find that
depended on
one of the xorg-x11-* superpackages and fixed them up as best I could.
Here's how that went.
lxde-common has been switched to explicitly require xprop from
xorg-x11-utils, but still explicitly requires xorg-x11-server-utils
despite that AFAICT it never mentions any of the utilities therein. I
assume this is a packaging convenience, the package owner would need
to decide which pieces of -server-utils are really wanted.
i3 has a Recommends for xorg-x11-apps but the package itself does not
ever mention any of the apps contained therein. I'm leaving it alone,
the package owner can decide the intent there.
I have inherited the spec file from the previous maintainer and the
recommends of xorg-x11-apps was added over 4 years ago for reasons that
are not apparent to me from the commit log. I see no compelling reason
for keeping the it as none of the applications appear necessary or for i3.
Cheers,
Dan
