Description-en: X.Org X Window System
This metapackage provides the components for a standalone
workstation running the X Window System. It provides the X libraries, an X
server, a set of fonts, and a group of basic X clients and utilities.

Higher level metapackages, such as those for desktop environments, can
depend on this package and simplify their dependencies.
.
It should be noted that a package providing x-window-manager should also
be installed to ensure a comfortable X experience.
