Package: x11-common Severity: serious tags 400632 -wontfix Greetings, The setuid usr/bin/X binary should not be shipped with x11-common because it's not *needed* for X11 clients. That by itself is a good enough reason. Put it in xserver-xorg-core or similar, not in x11-common. Additionally, x11-common gets pulled in on server for things like libgd-xpm, which isn't entirely unreasonable if someone wants to generate an X pixmap on a server. One could also have, I dunno, *xterm* installed on a server for clients to use without have an X server installed on the same server. Unless xterm *requires* usr/bin/X, it shouldn't be installed as part of something xterm depends on. Thanks, Stephen
