Yeah, I misunderstood you in your first email. It is not about the dependency on libx11-6, but the additional/new dependency on libsm6 and libice6. The problem seem to be very simple: configure.in:915-935 The AC_PATH_XTRA macro picks up additional X11 libs if installed and adds them to $X_EXTRA_LIBS. If you install in a clean chroot, $X_EXTRA_LIBS will be empty. If you have additional X11 dev packages installed, like libice-dev or libsm-dev, as Moritz seems to have, then you get this extra X11 libs dependencies. So I can only assume that Moritz didn't build the package in a clean, minimal chroot. I guess we can either add build conflicts against all non-required X11 dev packages (I'm not sure if this is viable) or patch out X_EXTRA_LIBS from configure.in.
