Description of problem: On a headless server, installing system-config-bind really shouldn't pull in 26MB of mostly X11 related crap that I don't want or need. Also, esound? audiofile? alsa-lib? For a config utility? What on earth for? After all, configuring bind seems like a fairly reasonable thing to do on a server in the datacentre. X11 isn't installed or desired, and it shouldn't be a dependency for an application like this.
