Package: xprint
Version: 1:0.1.0.alpha1-13
Severity: normal

In systems that do not use any printing capabilities, the xprint package 
is useless. In Debian it is started at almost every run level 

    rc0.d/K20xprint
    rc1.d/K20xprint
    rc2.d/S20xprint
    rc3.d/S20xprint
    rc4.d/S20xprint
    rc5.d/S20xprint
    rc6.d/K20xprint

It also consumes unnecessary memory in low memory systems

 1104 root      18   0 11740 3232 1124 S  0.0  1.3   0:00.24 Xprt

Trying to remove the package causes a snowball effect which would
also remove essential X package:

    # apt-get remove xprint
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    The following packages will be REMOVED:
      x-window-system* xprint*
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
    Need to get 0B of archives.
    After unpacking 4542kB disk space will be freed.

Please change the package dependencies so that that it can be
removed alone to make the system more clean if user so wishes.
