Bug#151613: Please reconsider splitting out xauth!

[Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au>]

# apt-get install xbase-clients
...
The following extra packages will be installed:
  cpp cpp-4.1 gcc-4.1-base libdrm2 libfs6 libgl1-mesa-glx libpng12-0
  libxcursor1 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxinerama1 libxkbfile1 libxmuu1 libxrandr2
  libxss1 libxtrap6 libxtst6 libxv1 libxxf86dga1 libxxf86vm1
...
After unpacking 21.9MB of additional disk space will be used.

And afterwards:
# ldd `which xauth`
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0x8000000000000000)
        libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0x200000000004c000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x2000000000060000)
        libXmuu.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXmuu.so.1 (0x2000000000098000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x20000000000b0000)
        libc.so.6.1 => /lib/libc.so.6.1 (0x20000000002a4000)
        libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x20000000004f8000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x2000000000510000)
        /lib/ld-linux-ia64.so.2 (0x2000000000000000)

Of the extra packages installed to meet xbase-clients dependencies,
the only one necessary for xauth was libxmuu1.

All I want at present is to ssh in to a headless, small disk (1G)
virtual machine and run xterm.
