Does it pull in the xserver? It may need some of the libraries to do
what it has to do to the data (image rasterisation, etc).
Which libraries/progs are your concern. I've just gone through with
apt-cache show <pkg> and apt-cache rdepends <pkg> on some of the obvious
packages, and there doesn't appear to be dependencies on x11-common, for
example, which is needed for X11.
Is it diskspace, CPU, or memory which is the concern?
