Bug#749646: x11-xserver-utils depends on cpp
control: tag -1 patch
> The packages x11-xserver-utils and x11-apps both depend on cpp. Since
> these are "miscellaneous assortment of X applications" and not
> development tools, I think they should not depend on cpp.
Here is a trivial patch that makes it possible for the user to choose
(as a non-default option) to exclude cpp packages from xorg using
systems, at the cost of possibly breaking xrdb.
Best wishes,
Mike
