Required is correct because 'xorg' is a metapackage and therefore would not fulfill its duty otherwise.
I suggest the real bug should be "why are we installing package 'xorg'?". If you want then we can reword this bug accordingly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1956126 Title: xorg metapackage depends on x11-apps and xorg-docs-core Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: xorg, a required dependency of ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop- minimal requires the package x11-apps. Currently Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy defaults to Wayland. These applications are ancient and now most people won't even be using X11, much less these example applications. Why are x11-apps going to be required in April of 2022?
