The xbase-clients package is there to provide only X clients, not
an X server.

This package currently depends on xinit, which has the effect to
install an X server. The goal of xinit is to start an X server;
this utility is not an X client. So xbase-clients should not depend
(not even recommend) xinit.

Note: a typical use of X clients without a local X server is via ssh.
