Could we add a a few lines to the "xlib" description stating that this
package is necessary on both X and non-X installations as well as the
reason why?

I think having a "(for both X and non-X systems)" in the single-line
description would also be a good idea.

It should probably also be moved out of the "x11" directory and into
"base" or something.  Otherwise, if somebody avoids the "x11" section
altogether, dependancy problems will arise.
