note that this wont help much with xterm if you still want to keep a
functional xserver, apt-cache rdepends xterm still shows a lot of
essential packages hard depending on it, there should probably be a bug
for this that has tasks for at least the xorg metapackage as well as
xinit so the xorg guys can inspect if they can do the same.
