This is policy violation, isn't it?
From Debian Policy Manual
| 5.8 Programs for the X Window System
|
| Some programs can be configured with or without support for the X Window
| System. Typically, binaries produced with support for X will need the X
| shared libraries to run.
|
| Such programs should be configured with X support, and should declare a
| dependency on xlib6g (which contains X shared libraries). Users who wish to
| use the program can install just the relatively small xfree86-common and
| xlib6g packages, and do not need to install the whole of X.
|
| Do not create two versions (one with X support and one without) of your
| package.
