Except that here X doesn't exist on non-linux ports.

What is obvious? liboss-libsalsa-dev hasn't posed any problem since
2009. liboss4-salsa-dev does because it was also introduced on Linux
port.  That is a problem, indeed, but I still don't see what it
breaks on non-linux ports.  If it didn't exist, packages depending on
libasound2-dev would even just *not* be compiled at all.  So it does not
make the situation worse.
