Package: xclip
Version: 0.12+svn84-4+b1
Severity: wishlist

When installing xclip on a minimal install, I expect to be able to use
the clipboard, particularly over ssh. Currently I get "Error: Can't open
display: (null)" due to a missing DISPLAY variable as there's no running
X server. After installing xauth, ssh -X works as expected, so even if
not Recommends, it should be at least a Suggests dependency.
