Description: Xresources are not loaded by xorg-xrdb because xorg-xrdb is not an optional dependency of lightdm despite being used in /etc/lightdm/Xsession.

I am honestly not sure how much of a bug it is, but while you can do perfectly well without Xresources, it seems preferable that it would be listed as the optional dependency it is based on the bundled /etc/lightdm/Xsession.

However, the same can be said for xorg-setxkbmap and xorg-xmodmap, and as such, it seems as though it is almost by design. Is there a rationale for these to not be listed as optional dependencies when they're executed from /etc/lightdm/Xsession by default?

Additional info:
* lightdm 1:1.30.0-2
* See line 19 in /etc/lightdm/Xsession


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install lightdm and enable it as the DM.
2. Ensure xorg-xrdb is not installed.
3. Install xorg-xrdb afterwards and execute xrdb -query to see empty Xresources
This task depends upon

Added xrdb and xmodmap as deps. Setxkbmap is transitive already via xorg-server.
