Do you really want two full binary versions of every emacsen flavor
(and every other X/console app) on our the ftp servers? I think there
are enough dual X/console apps to make requiring the installation of
the fairly small xlib6 package a fairly reasonable burden, when
divided across the total number of packages that are likely to need it
on a given system.
Arguing about sql makes a little more sense. How many other packages
need it, and how many users are really going to want the sql version
of proftpd?
