          Issue ID: 13139
           Summary: deb package depends on many X libraries (through
                    xdg-utils)
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: installer
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: code at dawg.eu

I just set up a server and while installing dmd I noticed that the xdg-utils
dependency drags in many X libraries. This doesn't make sense on a headless
server installation. I think xdg-utils is only a dependency because
std.process.browse uses xdg-open
(http://dlang.org/library/std/process/browse.html).
Moving xdg-utils to suggested packages would be a better choice.

The following extra packages will be installed:
  binutils cpp cpp-4.8 fontconfig-config fonts-dejavu-core gcc gcc-4.8
