Hmm. Debian gets around this by having libgd2 depend on libgd2-noxpm OR
libgd2-xpm
The former does not require X libs.. Of course, once you start doing
this for multiple packages, it starts getting complicated, especially as
I seem to recall Igor saying that setup doesn't support OR dependancies,
or conflicts..
I'd offer to see about working that into it, except that I haven't the
foggiest where to begin (not a programmer, but still meaning to learn).
Hm.

Spinning complacently in the darkness, covered and blinded by a blanket
of little lives, false security has lulled the madness of this world
into a slumber. Wake up! An eye is upon you, staring straight down and
keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will
never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
