DDD requires xterm for diplaying stdout from the program debugged.
It doesn't require it on my system -- by default, it just shows stdout in the
debugger output at the bottom, which for a lot of programs is good enough,
and I need to select View / Execution Window to get a separate xterm. And
accordingly, xterm is already in the "Suggests" list of the package. In
fact, I just tried uninstalling xterm temporarily, and ddd ran just fine,
except that it hung when trying to show an execution window (which is a bug
to do this instead of showing a useful error message...).
So I'm wondering what's different on your system that prompted you to file a
bug at severity serious, which I can't tell from your bug report.
I was unaware of the fact that it was an option to have xterm output,
and agree with your () analysis.
