I agree the apps in x11-apps don't appear to be useful anymore. But the
'xorg' package itself is only a metapackage and pulling in other
packages is what metapackages do. It gives you a traditional X11
environment so from that perspective, having 'xorg' install 'x11-apps'
makes a lot of sense.
I suggest the real bug should be "why are we installing package
'xorg'?". If you want then we can reword this bug accordingly.
