nixos/dbus: dbusPakckage package always includes x11 libs #457332
Description
Nixpkgs version
- Unstable (25.11)
Describe the bug
services.dbus.dbusPackage's dbus package always pulls in the x11 libs, even if services.xserver.enable is false. This doesnt make sense (if a headless server doesnt have x enabled then what's the point of enabling x support?)
Steps to reproduce
Have a system without xserver installed and no graphical apps; x11 is still pulled in just by the fact of systemd being enabled+dbus.
Expected behaviour
libx11 probably shouldnt be pulled in if x isnt enabled
