Nope! lxdoom actually has 5 packages (one not built from the lxdoom
source) - lxdoom, lxdoom-x11, lxdoom-svga, lxdoom-sndserv, and lxmusserv.
The latter two work with either of the clients (svga/x11), and lxdoom
is required for either of the clients to work as well. Add to that the
fact that I'll probably soon be adding a fbcon package as well...
flexibility is always more important than "smallness" - the overhead of
an extra deb file is not that much, as long as they are separated into
independent, logically different chunks.
