This isn't meant as bashing Calibre, don't get me wrong I love it! And I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but why?

I can't really imagine why Calibre-server would requires X, in my logic I would split up the packages, client and server so only the client would require X and I would be able to run the server on a headless machine without X.

Especially with the amount of package manager these days it wouldn't be that horrible for a simple end-user to click (possibly in the client) "install server too".
