I use fvwm, I definitely don't want Synaptic and other GUI admin tools
to be installed when I install X. Now, if by X, you actually mean a
desktop, then sure, there could be a gui-admin-tools meta package which
is pulled in by the desktop meta package. At least, that way, people who
know what they are doing don't have to clean up the mess, they didn't
want in the first place.

Sorry, that seems illogical to me. The reason I actually use Debian, is
so that I don't have to jump through hoops after an install.
