Note that ico, xcalc, xdbedizzy, xditview, xedit, xgc, xman, xmore might
be dropped by upstream in the future
(see http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-April/023355.html)
Are you planning to split the binary package only or also the source?
Regarding what Fedora does, I don't see why we would have to split into
so many packages. Moving xauth in its own package seems important.
Splitting all tiny client from server utilities too. However, for
instance, I don't see why appres/editres/listres/viewres would need to
be in their own xbase-resutils, they could stay with xrdb or something
like that. Also the difference between xfonts-utils and xfs programs
does not look easy to understand.
my 2 cents...
