Probably because having to maintain two versions of these packages
would be too much hassle for too little gain (i.e. small gains for a
minority).

Perhaps trimming xlib6g somewhat could help? As I see it this package
is just the libs for X clients. So why does it include the xkb stuff
(1 MB)? And why force the documentation-part of xfree86-common on
people (340 kB)? Too small savings?
