11.8.1 Providing X support and package priorities
-------------------------------------------------

Programs that can be configured with support for the X Window System
must be configured to do so and must declare any package dependencies
necessary to satisfy their runtime requirements when using the X Window
System.  If such a package is of higher priority than the X packages on
which it depends, it is required that either the X-specific components
be split into a separate package, or that an alternative version of the
package, which includes X support, be provided, or that the package’s
priority be lowered.
