Comment (by herrold):
Dependency explosion is a serious issue, and probably will require a
refactoring of several packaging approaches into either a: non-X and full
pair, or a base and -GUI pair. But there are other useful axes for
partition: Sound, and no-sound, Display and no-display, Server and non-
server, all come to mind
The need is clear as the first comment mentions, and the tactics to get
there have to start somewhere. I saw pkgconfig pulled in, as I tried to
get a minimal X install up yesterday, and that is just wrong ;)
If QA only means 'lights up and does not crash', it may well be out of
scope here ... but until an alternative venue is found, it seems a fair
topic for discussion here
