I've rechecked, and I have to express my misunderstanding of Debian 
packaging (I will improve, I promise), and it seems your libavcodec55, 
depends on libva1 (https://packages.debian.org/sid/libavcodec55), but 
that libva1 only rec the va-driver-all or va-driver and therefore does 
not hard-depend on libX11.

So, vlc-noX should work still without libX11...
