qt5-x11extras moved from an optional dependency to required, which pulls in several X libs even if the machine doesn't run X. I just wanted to raise this issue, I'm not sure if it's necessary in the new version. If it is, we need to update the wiki which states that you can do a headless install without depending on X libs.
This task depends upon

Upon closer look, I was mistaken; the new qt5-base package is what's pulling in all of the X libs (which appears to be a recent thing) and not qt5-x11extras. If this is something that could be addressed in the qt5-base package, then this bug should probably be reassigned. We cannot do anything about it in the virutalbox package.
