Hi!
Since gdk-pixbuf is increasingly used on servers and is very useful in general
without any GUI, having it pull in a big amount of X11 isn't nice.
Fedora splits out the xlib dependent stuff into a separate package, greatly
reducing the dependencies of the core gdk-pixbuf.
It would be awesome if we could do that in Debian too!
Cheers,
    Matthias
