Package: xbase-clients 
Version: 4.x 
Severity: wishlist 
 
I am wondering if the desktop utilities like xcalc, xeyes, etc. can be 
split off from xbase-clients so that people using alternatives don't 
have to have them installed when they are not needed? Possibly call it 
xbase-clients-utils or something. Keeping xbase-utils for startx, and 
all the things used by other packages (as opposed to by end users) in 
xbase-clients.

This is in the works for the 4.3.0 series of packages, as a consequence
of "the big xlibs split".
