PS: you're going to have similar problems with the "separate" lib anyway.

If you include it in the same package (which is nicest in a lot of
ways), it still could result in the same situation, where "it crashes
because the X libs arent installed".
They wont be auto-installed, because the whole point of this excercise
is to remove the X11 dependancy from the package.

If you include it in a SEPARATE package, then it messes up our
inter-package dependancy checking, due to the issues you already
discovered a month or two ago, about why it is "bad" to use
Alternatives on a shared lib split across multiple packages.
