i think it would be interesting to split pd and pd-gui into 2 separate packages (pd recommending pd-gui, pd-gui probably depending on pd (but not necessarily)). right now, you can run pd with "-nogui", but due to all the dependencies in the package, you will have to install X, tk and so on. (correct me if i am wrong, i haven't checked)
i think, this is a good idea. puredata depends on tk8.4 depends on libx11-6 depends on x11-common etc. so yes, in order to install pd now, the whole x window system is installed.
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.
Unless you ran out of diskettes.
Or you are running on a headless embedded system[1], or a flash-ROM based system with no X[2].
