Bug#240215: X11 dependency is annoying
Package: gs-esp
Version: 8.15.3.dfsg.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #240215
When installing the CUPS server, the gs-esp dependency further causes
X11 packages to be installed. This means one must step through
annoying and pointless questions about whether console users should be
allowed to start X, what kind of autohinting should be used in X, and
so on. For a headless server, this is a (brief) source of annoyance
and confusion.
If gs-esp can be produced in a -nox variant or cupsys can be made to
support other flavours of gs, this issue would go away.
