I don't see what's the problem. You don't have to install the whole X Window System, because it's already installed anyway.
Or you are running on a headless embedded system[1], or a flash-ROM based system with no X[2].
With a headless embedded system you still benefit from having libX11 because then its applications can display windows on the screen of the computer that you use to connect to it. I do that using "ssh -X -C".
If you want to do that then you need to have an X server running right? In some situations that consumes more memory, CPU, flash/disk than is desireable. Is there any other advantage to having libX11, tcl/tk, etc. other than wanting to ssh -X -C?
I do take your point, but I think you aren't considering all possible applications and environments that Pd might potentially be a part of.
Does that system even support deb or rpm ?
Not now, but it probably will when Open2x have done their work.
Best,
