Bug#151613: xauth

[Josip Rodin <joy@debbugs.entuzijast.net>]

Hi,

To get xauth, one currently has to get (but note that I had previously
pulled in libxp6 libxt6 libxtst6 and their dependencies):

% sudo aptitude --without-recommends install xbase-clients
[...]
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  fontconfig-config libdrm2 libfontconfig1 libfs6 libgl1-mesa-glx libxaw7 
  libxcursor1 libxfixes3 libxft2 libxi6 libxkbfile1 libxmu6 libxmuu1 
  libxpm4 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtrap6 libxv1 libxxf86dga1 
  libxxf86vm1 xbase-clients 
0 packages upgraded, 22 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/2269kB of archives. After unpacking 6590kB will be used.

It's not as large as it used to be, but it's a bit more annoying :)

Splitting out xauth would be a Good Idea(TM). In this particular case,
I just want to run an X program over an ssh session; that's a legitimate,
even a relatively common use case, I think.

Maybe xbase-clients in general could be further split to separate things
that don't need all this font and OpenGL stuff. But xauth should be the
first to go.
