--- Comment #2 from Tijl Coosemans <tijl at FreeBSD.org> ---
cups and avahi don't have an x11 dependency either.  Both depend on dbus which
contains dbus-launch that links to x11 libraries.  Dbus-launch creates a user
session bus when you start an x11 session.  If you don't run x11 dbus-launch
should never be used.

It won't help to split cups back into daemon and libs packages because
libcupsimage depends on libcups which depends on libavahi which depends on
dbus.  Perhaps dbus could be split into daemon and libs packages.  Or maybe its
X11 option can be disabled by default.  I believe dbus-launch only uses x11 to
store information about a dbus socket into an x11 atom so remote x clients can
connect with dbus on the local machine.  Maybe this isn't important enough to
be enabled by default?
