Yeah, and here we come to the fabulous decision of what package should actually
sanely depend on what other package.

Currently, we do not depend on X11 packages in nx-libs (but a select amount of
-dev packages on Debian as build requirements.)

Contrary to that, x2goserver already does depend on X11 packages.

Where does depending on xkeyboard-config make most sense? nxagent itself doesn't
really depend on it - it's working "fine" without that package, maybe with
limitations as presented in this bug report.

Luckily, xkeyboard-config (or xkb-data) has no dependencies, so it doesn't add
any other cruft.

Still, I think (and have also thought about that yesterday) that it's more
appropriate to depend on it in x2goserver instead of nxagent.
