This is by design. x-window-system depends upon all programs that are
traditionally part of an X release (including xdm), even binaries that
many people don't find useful. You probably only want to install
x-window-system-core.

You can file a bug (severity "wishlist" if it's a suggestion) against
one of the X-related packages, or you could directly mail
debian-x@lists.debian.org which is where all X-related bug reports go
anyway.
