I never put any x dependencies in in the xen package, but in fact the xen 
packages are compiled against sdl, and so my packages are depending on sdl.

the sdl library depends on xlibs, thats why xen depends indirectly to some x 
package, but in fact only one library package and the -common package, which 
is harmless at all.
